Sometimes the audio would cut out. Sometimes completion of the module would be noted till I watched 2 or 3 times.
great explanation
very informative and to the point. Easy to understand and not boring.
Ok
It was helpful, but I would miss some information, so I went back over the video. I still miss the information, but it was still helpful, and I got some questions right.
Great
It was a lot of common sense.
Test was very understandable and knowledgeable.
Muy educativo
enjoyed seminar
It was quick and simple. I didn’t like that when I’d click next module and go back I’d have to completely restart whatever video I was on and not just resume. Or that I couldn’t just go back in the videos if I missed something. It was a bit slow sometimes but other than that everything was good.

Este curso abarca todos los conocimientos necesarios para que un administrador de alimentos realice una buena labor de supervisión de seguridad alimentaria en su establecimiento.
I think this course works. I’m actually not sure because I’m writing this before I take the exam. I don’t really understand the steps I need to take to send in my application, I assumed the company would have done that.
Bite-size modules and reviews reinforce learning and make it easier for the learner to retain the information presented. Great
Liked going at my own pace, liked the mini quizzes here and there. Videos were easy to follow and informative.

I learned some new things from this course, even though I have taken this type of course many times before. I liked the fresh, colorful images used in the course. I kept thinking, “I want to eat that food.”
It was often difficult to recognize when the course wanted input other than clicking Next Module. It was visually unclear that I was supposed to do something else in order to progress. This led to having to go back and redo a module unnecessarily. I felt like the Next Module button shouldn’t have worked if I wasn’t ready to proceed. That, at least, would have prompted me to look for another needed input.
This was a fun interactive food safety certification course highly recommend
Would not let me to get my Certificate when I passed . To press complete when I thought I was done.
