Easy to understand courses
This is fast and easy. My only feedback is that it’s not optimized for mobile and some of the sounds/cc don’t work perfectly.
Uisd
Good class, very educational, and I would highly recommend it to others.
I enjoyed the course
Informative and helpful
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.
Very good
It was incredible helpful to learn the proper handling of prepping and serving food

It was very easy to follow. And is 100% on your timing. No rush. Exit out when and when you come back you’re right where you left off. No problem!
Wonderful course and well categorized around different topics, and each topic throughly explained.
no
Good
It is WONDERFUL
Quick and informative
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.
good
EXCELENT COURSE
amazing
The color of the lettering i had trouble seeing. But other than that this was really great learning course.
This course was a shorter course than others I had found online. It moved at a rapid pace keeping me focused. I learned some new facts which was very helpful. I liked the short quizzes in-between the modules. I also liked that this is a woman and minority-owned business. I will definitely recommend this course to others who need this certification.
This course was Efficient & easy to maneuver.
