Training is buggy

October 4, 2025

This training is a requirement but it was so damn glitchy that I almost had a meltdown. I ended up having to rewatch/listen to almost every single segment because it wouldn’t allow me to continue 90% of the sections even though I’d watch it all the way through. I had to watch multiple segments 3 or even 4 times before the dang thing would let me proceed! It was the most frustrating certificate class I’ve ever had to partake in.

Good training, with some recommendations...

August 2, 2025

Multiple times, there would be questions asked that had not yet been mentioned only for the answer to come AFTER the quiz. Most notably was when asking about cooking times in relations to reducing possible bacteria or viruses and a question came up about Trichinella for cooking pork, however that wasn’t mentioned until immediately after the question so there’s no way for the person to know the answer to the question.
