I rather read than watch it
Enjoyed the learning and reviewing.
it was good process and learning experience
it was okay
So many things I was doing without knowing why, now I got to understand the reason why.
The lessons include narration and visuals that make the learning easy, then you take a short quiz after so many modules to remind you of the most important things and for practice purpose.

It was lengthy..get some sleep and sugar before you start, but straightforward and to the point-thank you. I would like to know what my pass score was..what percentage. Only that.
It helped me to learn several factors about food contamination and the hygiene one should use when using food to prepare.
Seemed like a good course. i haven’t taken the exam yet though.
Glad went with them. The site was easy to navigate and the course was very detailed.
It was really long, but very informational and I learned a lot.
I wish the exam was less questions, just add the main one. But test was easy on my side.
The words put together didn’t seem “real” as if written by an ai. It was as if the presentation was made only to waste time.
