Food Manager Reviews

the training was very thorough!
I truly enjoyed this course. I signed up for another manager course prior to this one, and it was driving me nuts. This course was easy to understand and very informative. The quality of information was with everyday, ordinary people understanding. Thank You!
The course seems adequate. I’d suggest asking for a review after the test or sample tests.
Clear and easy to understand sections. Detailed information.
The course was broken down in a easy to follow information and example. I would recommend this course to any looking to become a food manager.
Very informative & well presented.
The course was easy to understand, thorough, and with lots of usable information.
the information on the course is helpful, however, to navigate back to the sample test once you completed the course was not simple, there also was no option to fast forward or go back in a specific point on a video, even once the video was watched. I missed a few words from the video and had to go back but there was no option to skip through anything, so I had to re-watched the entire video, which was redundant and a waste of time when you already watch the entire video and you just wanted to move on.
Very informative and easy to understand
People learn differently, some are slow learners, others are fast. I watch all instructional videos on YouTube etc at 2X speed. There is no such functionality here. Also, any minor mistake, you have to re-listen to the entire lesson. That’s painfully and frustratingly slow. People are busy. Respect that!
un curso muy claro y completo
Pleased to study a comprehensive and well presented training.
Easy to follow along and thorough explanation
The course was very thorough. I did learn several things that I didn’t know.
Painless got it done
Lecture is boring because of the monotone voice from the robotic instructor. There’s no fast forward button, or go back button on the video player. I couldn’t go back to a specific point in the video, but having to replay the whole video to get to that point again.
