The training was very helpful to learn and train for my test.
Overall 10/10 experience, everything was well explained and easily understood.
it is pretty good and clear to understand things!
I would recommend it to my friends.
I found this course to be very clear and understandable. It was presented in away that kept my attention and I appreciate the review tests after segments .I find intermittent review tests very helpful helpful for retaining both new and old information.
Thorough and straightforward
very insightful, learned some new things.
it is ok – very useful info
This was my first time taking this course. There is a lot to remember. I never realized that.
This course was very engaging by including visual, imbedded questions, and frequent review sections.
It was a great training program. I love that they use pictures and stories.
As expected, a little “scripted” in the voice, but just fine.
I liked that is was short burst of info not one long video
It’s very informative however, the automated voice skips parts and sometimes speaks to fast. There is one quiz where you don’t learn the information in the qui until after the quiz and it takes a long time to process between screens.
I had to take this training course as part of a college class, and although it was long, the information was extremely palatable and concise. The modules were broken down in a great way, where the information wasn’t too taxing or confusing.
Modules were user friendly and information was thorough. It was helpful to be able leave and come back to same place later, to back up a segment or repeat the previous module, use “closed caption” function and pause the representation to review the bullet points.
The lessons include narration and visuals that make the learning easy, then you take a short quiz after so many modules to remind you of the most important things and for practice purpose.
This training was very informative, well put together, and and overall great experience. I’m definitely going to refer everyone that is interested in receiving there certification in managing food to this course
Seemed like a good course. i haven’t taken the exam yet though.
