Food Manager Reviews
4.9
The modules were good as far as information. However, it glitched multiple times, shut down and was a bit confusing at first.
Love it❤️
It glitches a lot
The course was factual and easy to follow. This is my second time using this course.
you learn a lot of food
I learned a lot from this test and learning all the different temperatures for different items was pretty cool.
Annoying and tedious but necessary
Honestly not bad. it was tedious, but it needed to be to get all essential info across. good interactivity and great job at conveying the info.
This program was easy and straight forward. I only fell asleep twice through the 1.5 hour course, but I think they must have recognized the dullness in the material and the lack of the will to remain conscious. You start to question whether this is an exercise in the Pavlovian method. Watch 15 seconds, pop up appears “Module Complete”, slight elation, press the button, repeat, dreamland beckons . One long video would have been so much easier…
My only true hang up was the test questions definitely need some review. Remember in middle school where you were the one finding spelling/grammatical errors in your teachers assignments, daily. Kinda felt like that. Maybe proof read so were not left guessing what to do with a question like this:
“Under ideal conditions, bacteria __________ can multiply every.
-20 minutes
-40 minutes
-90 minutes”
Otherwise, respect for what your doing. I am grateful for how easy and inexpensive you made it to get this done. Best wishes!
Very thorough and informative!
It was very understandable and informative.
I feel like I got all the information but it was so incredibly boring. You couldn’t spring for an actual voice-over actor to read the script? The automated voice was terrible.
The AI generated voice was like fingernails on a chalkboard
All gravy
It was great!
I think this course was very informative and helped you learn what we can do to be the best food handlers.
yay
