This is a good way to learn proper ways of handling food and definitely helped me learn many safer ways to work in the kitchen
Love it
Great training information.
5 stars!
5-star review for great information.
Very informative.
Informative!
In-depth!
Good
The course does make sense for food handlers.
Easy process
I like that you can take a break and come back. Not sure how long you can stay away, just a rest room and soda break. It’s lengthy but step away a bit it’s not bad. the test is easy. A lot is common sense.
I already took before the course but wanted to refresh everything and is super helpful and easy to learn. Really recommended to everyone.
learn so much that I did not know or understand.
All great fo r every day practice!
This course was pleasant and easy to follow. I learned a lot of great informaiton.
Course is very informative and helpful

I think this course was very informative and helped you learn what we can do to be the best food handlers.
I thought the course was very easy to follow and understand.
I am a didactic adhd learner and love to do as I learn so the course review tests were awesome.. however I wish there was a way to speed up the videos, so they kept my attention
The program was easy to follow and understand, it also was not very time consuming.
This is well structured, easy to start, stop, and ultimately finish.
Speaker speaks fast enough to make it efficient
I found it easy to understand and the information very useful. I hope many people can benefit from this education.
Le doy 5 estrellas porque en promedio el curso es muy bueno y está bien explicado. Quizás algún puntito a mejorar, es que la terminología está completamente en español. Pienso que ayudaría mucho tener el apoyo en inglés, por ejemplo, en los acrónimos. Pero, quitando eso, es muy visual y dinámico.
This module was broken down and easy to learn.
I found the course material and practice quizzes to be efficient and easy to follow. The visuals, narration, and written descriptions allowed me to fully grasp the course in an effective manner. Definitely recommend.
Well layed out and easy to follow
My internet connection is solid, the server connection seems poor. Took about eight (8) hours to complete video training due to load times between segments.
That said, painless and user-friendly layout, super helpful for navigation through Modules. I will be returning one my certificate expires for renewal.
Very good with explaining things and showing pictures due to me being a visual learner.
This is an easy and effective way to learn.
Loved the course very clear
informative. not boring.

Great
I had heard that this RBS training would take 2 to 2.5 hours to complete.
It felt drastically longer.
I have several complaints about the training and its segments of reviewing — this included the quizes.
The following notes in reviewing the material are no particular order of importance:
1.) VOLUME CONTROL
The volume control on the window that pops up to read and listen to the new slide always falls back to a default setting. It did not stay at the maximum volume I had set it for the previously viewed slide.
2.) CAPTIONS CONTROL
The captions feature did the same. It reset each time the next slide came up. And in those rare instances where the the current slide progression bar — this is to be understood as the bar that allows the viewer to move back in the slide’s presentation, or to move forward — the captions were reset to not being on.
3.) PROGRESSION BAR
Allowing the viewer to have control of the progression bar beyond pause, play, and restart, would be very helpful.
I did find a few instances where the progression bar could be controlled. This was helpful in writing notes, and hearing the speaker in the slide more clearly.
4.) TRAINING PROGESSION
Nowhere did I find a way to ascertain how much more I had before I was to find the end of the training. This, I felt, caused me to feel that the training was dragging on with no ending in sight.
Unlike a book, I was unaware as to how many chapters were left, or how many pages remained before I reached the conclusion.
If some kind of indicator showed was chapter and sections you needed to completed, along with those completed, a trainee such as myself may have some concept of out progression through the material.
5.) TRAINING TIME
In conjunction with the above suggestion and complaint about TRAINING PROGRESSION, there could be estimated times for each section since the slide is of an already known segment of time.
For example, a slide with the speaker referencing points and graphics on the screen takes 1 minute and 20 seconds, this could easily be noted in a table of contents or some list noting the sections, their names, and the duration of simply listening to it.
6.) OFF SUBJECT MATTER
There were a few instances — particularly the section(s) pertaining to drugs — where there was too much detail, I felt, that the training delved into that seemed to be beyond the scope of our training to serve alcohol responsibly.
For example: I did not understand — nor was there any correlations made by the slides or training — as to why we needed to review or learn about the physical effects of drugs such as stimulants and hallucinogens.
There was no point made by the training session that helped connected learning all this to the position, responsibility, and duty of serving alcohol.
7.) QUIZING ON NOT YET LEARNED MATERIAL
There were a handful of instances where I seemed to be encountering material that had not yet been reviewed or introduced.
It may be necessary for someone to actually go through the content of the material and see where future content is being introduced at the wrong time — during the quiz for the last section.
This concludes my recollection of issues and problems I encountered with online RBS training from AAAFoodHandler.com
i love how easy it is to make your way around the app and how much info we can get just from short timed video
This was direct and to the point, it went over all relevant information and laws.
Break it up into chunks. Don’t procrastinate.
This is a Responsible Beverage Serving training program not a drug training program
nice material
amazing
This course was very informative. Things that I was not aware of that involves serving in a restaurant or bar.
I would prefer longer videos instead of many short ones
Thank you so much
Good, review at end is unnecessary
