Learned alot that I thought I already knew
Course was easy to follow and clear in instruction.
i learned alot
It wasn’t even 10 dollars, so it was pretty easy to afford, and it took me about an hour and a half to finish.
Problems with hovering using cell phone. Sometimes it would make me start over when I already completed it. It took about 3 hours to get through it
It was okay, didn’t expect that to happen.
I’d love to cook
Great information!
great
I didn’t like that you had to wait until the “Completed Module” message popped up before hitting the next module button. Other than that it was easy.
Easy way to learn and being knowledgeable before working into food environmental area.

Sure! Here’s a feedback review for completing the RBS (Responsible Beverage Service) server course:
Completing the RBS California server course was a valuable experience that provided essential knowledge for responsible alcohol service. The course covered key topics, including the legal responsibilities of servers, how to recognize signs of intoxication, and strategies for preventing underage drinking.
The material was well-structured, thus making it easy to follow, and the interactive elements helped reinforce important concepts. The real-world scenarios and practical guidance prepared me to handle various situations confidently.
Overall, this course is an excellent resource for anyone in the food and beverage industry. It enhances awareness of responsible alcohol service, promotes safer environments, and ensures compliance with California state regulations. I would highly recommend it to others looking to obtain their certification.
the grammar was a little confusing and no clear for a few of the (what is the benefit of etc…)
should have someone look at that
Overall the course/ training of getting my Alcohol certificate was smooth, just a little time consuming.
The course is very easy to understand and very helpful

easy to go through at home
Gonna be honest: I have a 26K note-count based on everything I’ve read and studied in the Food Handler guide, and it’ll still be saved after after all that. It’s very thorough and easy to understand. I don’t think I had a problem doing any of these, really. I’m fairly confident that I’ve got very close to 100%, if not outright.
Yeah, it was mandatory, but it was far from awful. Just took up my day at most.
I found the modules to be quick, informative, and easy to understand.
It was an interesting experience, very informative though hectic
Got me my Food Handlers license when the other one I tried didn’t work and was cheap
I liked that there were interactive activities and some sample questions in between the modules.
Very informative but so many videos to watch. It would be helpful to know how much progress has been done on the page until exam.
I really just didn’t like the “local health inspector” probably because of the robot voice and trying to make it sound like a person with the script. Understand the appeal but not a fan.
Also, too many of the videos were five seconds long and a few of them could certainly be condensed/stitched together
Easy course to follow along with and they explained everything
So well
Always a pleasure, very informative and easy to use website.
It was quick and informative
Learning about food
Very easy to go through the modules, easy to understand. Thank you!
Perfect thank you
Great course!
