Learned alot that I thought I already knew
Course was easy to follow and clear in instruction.
i learned alot
It wasn’t even 10 dollars, so it was pretty easy to afford, and it took me about an hour and a half to finish.
Problems with hovering using cell phone. Sometimes it would make me start over when I already completed it. It took about 3 hours to get through it
It was okay, didn’t expect that to happen.
I’d love to cook
Great information!
great
I didn’t like that you had to wait until the “Completed Module” message popped up before hitting the next module button. Other than that it was easy.
Easy way to learn and being knowledgeable before working into food environmental area.

Sure! Here’s a feedback review for completing the RBS (Responsible Beverage Service) server course:
Completing the RBS California server course was a valuable experience that provided essential knowledge for responsible alcohol service. The course covered key topics, including the legal responsibilities of servers, how to recognize signs of intoxication, and strategies for preventing underage drinking.
The material was well-structured, thus making it easy to follow, and the interactive elements helped reinforce important concepts. The real-world scenarios and practical guidance prepared me to handle various situations confidently.
Overall, this course is an excellent resource for anyone in the food and beverage industry. It enhances awareness of responsible alcohol service, promotes safer environments, and ensures compliance with California state regulations. I would highly recommend it to others looking to obtain their certification.
the grammar was a little confusing and no clear for a few of the (what is the benefit of etc…)
should have someone look at that
Overall the course/ training of getting my Alcohol certificate was smooth, just a little time consuming.
The course is very easy to understand and very helpful

Awesome to go over this and be reminded

Very easy to understand
The course was very educational, but I didn’t like how you couldn’t do back to a specific part of a module without it having to be replayed completely. Overall it was a good experience.
Needed to get my food license and found this to be very helpful and easy to use.
Too many typos and grammatical errors to take the course seriously. Plus the sound didn’t work.
I must say I was a little nervous because it’s been over 20 years I haven’t worked in hospitality but the test was very easy
Good
The courses are interesting and helpful!
