Great course presentation

July 28, 2025

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!

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?
