Thank you
great info for people in the food industry to know
Fast and understandable. Thanks
It was not a bad course. It went by fast while taking it. The information was concise and to the point which was great for a person that doesnt like to do trainings but this one was enjoyable.
Very simple, straight forward way to get the training you need.
Easy to follow. Great info
Excellent presentation of content. You should easily pass your exam with this courseware. My grade of 4 stars instead of 5 pertains to weaknesses in the courseware platform. These are as follows: 1) I started the course with Firefox Browser (my default) but the modules won’t load with it after the intro and nowhere does it say I can’t use it. I had to transfer to MS edge. 2) The module position slider doesn’t work in most modules and one module jammed when I tried to repeat it with rewind. 3) I had to trick it to repeat test one and then it took me right to the test. I don’t think the claim that you can take the sample tests as many times as you like is true. Highlights) Maria’s pictures are really cute. more more!
Easy to understand
cool thanks for educating me
I would recommend this course

Very well done
Section 1 should have corresponding Section 1 Reviews rather than a sequential numbering of Reviews
After Section 1.8, I believe there was a review question from the next section
Too much focus on laws and legal .
It wasn’t clear on how to finish
Was not as boring as the food safety one, but I understand that is for the safety of society. I liked this one and it covered all the questions that needed to be answered. After having a lot of homework and a busy schedule, this course was easy to access on any mobile device, and my home computer. This allowed to complete this course around my schedule!
Es un curso muy importante para nosotros
Es un curso muy interesante
It was a very informative and helpful way to learn about the ways to handle alcohol, however it was very draining to listen at times. Maybe it because I’ve been sitting around for a while
It’s easier to buy a Gun then serve Alcohol but it is essential
it was good
The service part was very helpful and also how to decline customers on getting more drinks after they had to much.
Excellent
Took way too long but overall very informative.
thanks
Efficient and well-presented

Worth it.
The food handling course was quick and eaay to understand. I didn’t struggle at all to understand the information given and I was able to process everything easily.
good refresh on things to know handling food
easy to understand and nice visual teaching and i could see the instruction over again if i need it
The course with the slideshows was nice, however the speed of the video or slideshow vs the speech was at times difficult to follow
I found the “learn at your own pace” style to be ideal for me personally. The questions while you are watching and the interactive scenes make it fun, not just something you are staring at for an hour. Teaches really important stuff.
I think it is a great learning experience and very detailed
To train my employees the do’s from the don’t so my business can be the top
The review was long but informative
Everything was perfect.
