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.
nice and very explanatory in details
Very easy to understand and clear explanation. The course is well organized. I recommend this training
I recently completed the food manager certification training and I am thoroughly impressed with the experience. The course was incredibly well-organized, making the entire learning process straightforward and efficient. The instructors did a fantastic job of breaking down complex topics into easy-to-understand segments, ensuring that everyone in the class could follow along without any confusion.
One of the highlights of the training was the use of sample tests. These practice exams were invaluable in helping me prepare for the final certification exam. They mirrored the format and difficulty of the actual test, giving me the confidence I needed to succeed. Additionally, the feedback provided on the sample tests helped me identify areas where I needed further review, making my study sessions more focused and effective.
Overall, this training was a perfect blend of comprehensive coverage and user-friendly delivery. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to obtain their food manager certification. The course not only prepares you thoroughly for the exam but also enhances your overall understanding of food safety and management practices.
I’m a new business owner going through the process that we all must go through in order to be in compliance with the law and good standing as a business owner. Yes it’s a lengthy process but once we have made it through, it does come with a sense of satisfaction. While the AI voice was a bit monotone and off-putting, this process of watching videos and taking tests in an online atmosphere makes more sense with my busy schedule. Good information and process. I will use this program to train my employees going forward.
