Thank you
great info for people in the food industry to know
Fast and understandable. Thanks
It was not a bad course. It went by fast while taking it. The information was concise and to the point which was great for a person that doesnt like to do trainings but this one was enjoyable.
Very simple, straight forward way to get the training you need.
Easy to follow. Great info
Excellent presentation of content. You should easily pass your exam with this courseware. My grade of 4 stars instead of 5 pertains to weaknesses in the courseware platform. These are as follows: 1) I started the course with Firefox Browser (my default) but the modules won’t load with it after the intro and nowhere does it say I can’t use it. I had to transfer to MS edge. 2) The module position slider doesn’t work in most modules and one module jammed when I tried to repeat it with rewind. 3) I had to trick it to repeat test one and then it took me right to the test. I don’t think the claim that you can take the sample tests as many times as you like is true. Highlights) Maria’s pictures are really cute. more more!
Easy to understand
cool thanks for educating me
I would recommend this course

Very well done
Section 1 should have corresponding Section 1 Reviews rather than a sequential numbering of Reviews
After Section 1.8, I believe there was a review question from the next section
Too much focus on laws and legal .
It wasn’t clear on how to finish
Was not as boring as the food safety one, but I understand that is for the safety of society. I liked this one and it covered all the questions that needed to be answered. After having a lot of homework and a busy schedule, this course was easy to access on any mobile device, and my home computer. This allowed to complete this course around my schedule!
Es un curso muy importante para nosotros
Es un curso muy interesante
It was a very informative and helpful way to learn about the ways to handle alcohol, however it was very draining to listen at times. Maybe it because I’ve been sitting around for a while
It’s easier to buy a Gun then serve Alcohol but it is essential
it was good
The service part was very helpful and also how to decline customers on getting more drinks after they had to much.
Excellent
Took way too long but overall very informative.
thanks
Efficient and well-presented

Very informative and easy to following along.
Well organized and very informative. I like the quizzes between modules.
Faced paced and informative!
Muy bien explicado
Very interesting and informative information I can even utilize at home.
Everything made sense for the food industry. Instead of the handwashing saying 15 seconds, perhaps 20 seconds would be better. That may be a tiny thing, but nobody wants to get sick, right?
I learned a lot while taking this course its very helpful and interesting
This was a great course! It took me about 90 minutes. The voice over was a little boring and there was no option to speed up the video, which I feel would be a great improvement.
You can’t just skim by this. The information is also interactive so you have to actually pay attention. Easy exam, everything is covered
No extraneous information.
This course are you maintain you establish and also your personal life to hygiene and safety is the key of success of a establishment
It was simple, easy to follow, and great to see the review quizzes at the end of each session. It kept me engaged and helped me realise which answer goes with what question. Really got me to pay more attention.
I haven’t been in the culinary industry in over 20 years. This course was very easy to navigate through and follow. 1 or 2 of the exam questions was a bit confusing however, all in all it was very well put together.
Had to get this for an economics project and sell food at school. It was pretty easy and not too bad.
Great course
