Food Manager Reviews
4.9
I found this course full of useful information that I can carry along with me through my carrier as food manager.
I like that I was able to go at my own pace even though it was a very fast paced class. Its nice to fit in here and there with other things going on around me. I also like that I can do it from the comfort of my own home and turn it in when I am finished. The price was better then others out there. I am nervous about the actual test. I have test anxeities and don’t do well with them even though I did well on here. I have already recommended this to a friend and will also pass this along to others that I know. You did a great job in presenting this. Very painless and actually informative and not boring like other classes that I have done online.
As someone who spent decades in audio/visual communication, I noticed that you had a few critical issues with your system that you may want to correct to make it a more effective teaching tool.
– There were some questions that were asked in the reviews that were NOT from the session just completed, but were from the following session instead.
– The spoken instructions didn’t always match the written text on the screen, causing confusion in the delivery of the message.
– Also, the “text to speech” system you used is clearly reacting to the punctuation you put into the text that it is “reading”. Recheck that text for inappropriate commas or periods that are causing the inflection of the voice to be incorrect.
I really enjoyed all that I have learned during the training and how helpful this will all be for my business. I am pleased to have taken part in this course.
Really enjoyed the course. It was very informative and has prepared me for my at home kitchen. It was very easy to follow as well.
Class was easy to follow and full of invaluable lessons.
