Excellent
Good
easy to learn and remember with visuals
The course is very good and helpful. I hope the website can also add a Chinese version in addition to English and Spanish, so that more Chinese learners can study more easily.
Quick and Painless
One section of your module froze up and I could not hear the end of it even when I went back and restarted the module, also your speaker stated 125 when the module said 135 on a section.
Easy, informative. Great class.

Easy
easy to navigate
Really good and knowledgeable training
This training was very easy to follow and good to comprehend. Great thing doing the little quizes to keep track of what have you been learning.
Not as long as some and the best price
As a returning student to AAA’s RBS Training program, I would have to say it never disappoints! Very informative and “to the point” information to ensure a safe work environment amongst alcohol served businesses. Thanks again AAA for a reliable training experience to ensure safe and effective alcohol service practices!
My ABC Training Provider help me a lot with the process of renewing my certificate, thank you again.
There are so many things outside of the realm of just a service professional that are covered in this 3 hour module. There should be separate modules for just service people and the actual licensee.
The information is fine. But it is presented with a horrible AI voiceover at a pace that can not be adjusted for faster or slower learners. There is no option to simply read the material. So, if you are a learner that does no do well with a lecture format (especially from a robot that uses inaccurate, disjointed, pacing, cadence, and pauses) then this will be maddening for you. Additionally, it is extremely ablest .
