It is what it is
Very informative and well documented.
The course was long but surprisingly enjoyable, learnt a lot of information which I took for granted before.
Clear and easy to understand lessons on food safety and handling protocols. Test was a breeze upon completion of the modules.
I found the videos very informing and enlightening
The training provides a lot of ways to be clean when working with foods and also teaches you alot about bacteria and how to prevent it from spreading.
I think that a few of the questions could have been less targeted at specific recollection pieces, especially the ones where I was being told to classify certain things, as I feel like they are not as applicable in a real world situation.
Easy and fast.
I found the course very knowledgeable and interesting
Very helpful and engaging.
well explained course with interactive questions for consolidating knowledge

Es largo pero hay que prestar atención pero se me hizo fácil y educativo
Excellent course with emphasis on important items
I found the AAA training through the Dept of ABC’s website, as AAA was a recommended vendor.
The training sessions seemed to be greatly outdated, with clunky graphics and awkward slide transitions. The platform doesn’t appear to have been updated since prior to 2023. It would be helpful if the platform would allow trainees to back up 15 seconds or so to review information, instead the module needs to start over.
When a question is answered incorrectly, the platform doesn’t explain what the correct answer is or why, it moves directly to the next question. This doesn’t allow for enhanced learning.
At one point, a slide was suddenly in Spanish, despite still clearly being in English mode.
The “narrator” routinely mispronounced words such as “conTRACTors” instead of contractors, “aTEEvan” instead of Ativan, and “OONaformaty” instead of uniformity. This was highly distracting and should be corrected.
i learned a lot
