The videos honestly explained everything so well that the test was pretty easy.
The overall experience, while time consuming, was very straight forward and I am satisfied with my experience
Was it boring? Yeah. But was it to the point? Also yes. This training didn’t drag on and gave clear information on how to handle food in a safe way. I took a star away because some of the questions in the exam were so badly worded I had to decode what they meant. It was only a couple questions but annoying enough to be an issue.
Learned a lot of things on how to prepare food properly.
Was informative and easy to follow
