The training materials were fair. The AI voice had very poor diction, mispronouncing a few words and getting the emphasis wrong in several sentences. The negative effect was very noticeable, to me. The exam was significantly worse. At least 5 questions has contradictory or poorly written answer pools. Is it really so difficult to hire an extra HR generalist to write training courses?
The material was easy to read, informative, and allows you to repeat until you are clear on all questions.
Awesome , easy to understand
I received valuable information about food handling, preparation, cooking, and storage. Maintaining cleanliness is essential in a food business. This knowledge is a great way to learn before starting a food business.
Its great course to learn to handle food, which is more important for any new staters.
Lessons are easy to understand and the quizzes after each module are based on common sense so all you have to do is pay attention and there’s no way you can’t pass it’s great it’s awesome course
The step by step guide and the ability to go back and watch any module again is very helpful. Things are explained completely and very easily understandable. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to get their Food Handlers Certification.
The presentation of the material was concise, easy to follow and well organized.
