Muy bueno para el personal que trabaja en los restaurantes
Easy to follow. Rather long.
The final exam had some confusing questions
Re-iterate desire for a re-wind instead of restart button. Also, would’ve liked a short area after every module to practice what I just learned, like a mini quiz.
Wish there was a rewind button instead of a restart, but overall it is still a good website.
The instructor knows the subject-matter. She is also a fantastic trainer.

Was difficult to take notes and go back to certain points made since you could not reverse the video and anytime you missed a point you would have to start the whole section over. Otherwise helpful and informative.
It can be daunting to just think about it. However, breaking it down to bite-sized instructions made this much more doable and convenient.
Fabulous :))
Simple but very interesting
The course was great. It was easy to follow, at the right pace, and engaging.
Appreciate that explanations are given for why it is important to do things in a certain way. Understanding why it is important makes it easier to remember, and makes me more conscientious about doing it that way. There was one question about trichinosis that was asked in a quiz before the topic was covered in the next section.
This course was very informative and easy to follow along. I believe this course will provide all businesses handling food and beverages better overall customer service and safety.
It was very helpful.

test was easy

I think this course is very valuable and meaningful. The teaching information included in the course is very rich and comprehensive, and it is very helpful for people who want to learn about food safety or want to prepare for a food safety certificate.
Found the course to be informative and easy to use.
Good
Ok course. moving from one module to next took too long
GREAT
great course, highly recommend
It was good
This was a pretty good course, learned new things and reviewed the basics. I think it’s important all food serving places hold a food manager license because of protocols that could be forgotten and a reminder doesn’t hurt anyone. One thing though, if the website developers could make it where we can move back and forward on each slide that would be very helpful. Besides that I find that the course is neatly put together and the review after every topic is good.
