This coarse was to the point & easy to use. I like that it can be paused, rewatched or completed all at once.

This course was highly helpful and touched based on many topics about the food industry. I appreciated how informative the course was. I will definitely recommend this course to other. Plus it was at a reasonable cost too.

It would be helpful to have the option to rewind each module instead of starting all the way over. The material moves fast, and if you miss something, you need to start that section (sometimes a few minutes long) all over again. A time bar and rewinding would help make the course more accessible.
