Thank you
good
I liked that is was short burst of info not one long video
This is a great learning tool and it was entertaining and easy to take.
It’s very informative however, the automated voice skips parts and sometimes speaks to fast. There is one quiz where you don’t learn the information in the qui until after the quiz and it takes a long time to process between screens.
Must study well and carefully
The course itself is good but unfortunately mine didn’t have sound for most of the course
Audio/video with some response required.
easy and quick
I had to take this training course as part of a college class, and although it was long, the information was extremely palatable and concise. The modules were broken down in a great way, where the information wasn’t too taxing or confusing.
Modules were user friendly and information was thorough. It was helpful to be able leave and come back to same place later, to back up a segment or repeat the previous module, use “closed caption” function and pause the representation to review the bullet points.
.
The overall training was very informative
The course only took about an hour and a forty-five minutes and was a reasonable price. It was informative and helped me understand food safety practices in a restaurant context better.
I rather read than watch it
Enjoyed the learning and reviewing.
