Now I have all knowledge that how to handle food safety
The sections were well spaced. The graphics were clear and easy to understand. The voice reading was easy to listen to. This was a very good course In my opinion. One must take the time to read each question as sometimes you are asked the opposite of what you might assume is being asked. My advice is to take the time to properly understand what each question is asking. Also allow yourself enough time to learn and go at your own pace.
very simple and easy learning program
