This course was quite informative and easy to work through.
Love this training course. It was very useful and helped me learn food safety.
The course itself is fine however the test is where I take issue. A possible answer for one of the questions is, “bacteria __20 minutes__ can multiple every day.” This not grammatically correct and is confusing. At least two questions/answers had horrible wording and should certainly be reviewed. Afterall, we’re paying for an accredited course, grammar shouldn’t be an obstacle.
This course was simple and quick to understand.
I found it very comprehensive and educational.
Very informative
Pretty straight forward.
Great course, will definitely recommend to friends and family.
I am currently looking for a job and this platform made it very easy to get my certificate so I can add to my resume. Was able to finish under 3 hours.
I was pretty good I guess.
It was very easy and straightforward. Some of the sections could be together to shorten the course but overall can’t complain
Muy excelente
A lot of the slides seemed to be missing sound
I review the history, about food service and how to take care of good environment.

This takes an eternity and is not engaging at all. more interactivity so I can actually learn the answers instead of just a robot voice yapping at me for hours.
I have taken a food safety course many times and with this lesson in particular I learned some added things I did not know or realized.
Class was easy to listen to, able to pause when needed. Great information.
Class was well completed. I would have given 5 star rating if you could go back and re-watch parts of video in case I was too late to pause but had to wait till entire video was complete to go back. Also – there was a pause between each video that was longer than other courses I have taken. Overall – good course and information was provided.
This was a great training course hopefully the test goes well!
This was a wonderful course. It never felt overwhelming or dull. The flow of the process was wonderful as well. The slides helped me stay focused as a visual learner.
It was very informative and learned a lot I didn’t know.
