Awesome
Easy to understand and follow
Easy to follow common sense no surprises
Very informative and easy to understand information.
I learned a lot about food service
The course is very clear and detailed. The best part of it is that you can stop and go back whenever you have time or are ready to continue.
Not every slide had a CC option. If for some reason a slide needed to be paused, CC started over while the slide continued. And the narrator had a fairly monotone voice, making it a little hard for me to concentrate
The videos give lots of information. I do wish that you could rewind on each video. Especially because if you’re taking notes, sometimes you only wanna go back five seconds and not have to start the video all over again
Este curso es muy completo y aprendi mucho a como debe ser el funcionamiento en una cocina de cualquier restaurante.! Excelente!!! es muy dinamico, entretenido y super educativo…. Gracias!

Very straightforward and easy to follow
There is a lot of information you need to know and they cover it really well. You can go back and forth if you need to or pause as needed if you are taking notes.
It is worth taking
Some of the questions in the review were not addressed until the next module and was confusing
The training was great!
Overall, I really enjoyed taking this course.

Simple
Long and boring, use real people. Good information overall.
It was a good course. Wish the person talked a bit faster or you could change the speed a bit. Since it talked so slow, I spaced out at times but overall, it was a good course. Got to the point of the modules quickly and efficiently.

Well organized and very informative. I like the quizzes between modules.
Faced paced and informative!
Muy bien explicado
Very interesting and informative information I can even utilize at home.
Everything made sense for the food industry. Instead of the handwashing saying 15 seconds, perhaps 20 seconds would be better. That may be a tiny thing, but nobody wants to get sick, right?
I learned a lot while taking this course its very helpful and interesting
This was a great course! It took me about 90 minutes. The voice over was a little boring and there was no option to speed up the video, which I feel would be a great improvement.
You can’t just skim by this. The information is also interactive so you have to actually pay attention. Easy exam, everything is covered
No extraneous information.
This course are you maintain you establish and also your personal life to hygiene and safety is the key of success of a establishment
It was simple, easy to follow, and great to see the review quizzes at the end of each session. It kept me engaged and helped me realise which answer goes with what question. Really got me to pay more attention.
