Was good
This course was very helpful and taught me a lot of information that I will need when starting a food business. However, as someone who learns through interacting with problems and questions, rather that just watching videos, I think I could have learned more if there were more problems and questions to answer throughout the videos.
Good but long
It was easy to do and fun to see Maria making weird faces
Very important
Great, fun, and easy-to-do modules. Would recommend it to anyone looking to get their certification!

very informative and taught me a lot of things I did not know.
There is so much that goes into managing a restaurant. Getting trained in proper back and front of house food handling protocol is time consuming, but so necessary when it comes to wanting to provide your customers with the best service possible. Thank you!

Preparation for managing food saftey
muy buen curso
the class was very well put together and thank you for offering this online
the lady explains each session with full details. pictures and charts are very helpful
Thank you for the detailed, step by step training.
I appreciated the clear method of explaining requirements along with visual aide. This course helped me better understand the differences and correlation between biological, chemical, physical, and cross-contamination hazards. I wasn’t aware of all of the risks involved in the food service industry. Not only am I able to help create a safe environment for our food business, but am more aware of the conditions and potential risks while taking my family out to eat at other food establishments. I am grateful that standards, policy, and procedures have been put in place to help keep people safe. In addition, I appreciated the mini-quiz opportunities with the immediate feedback to help me better monitor my progress.
Very informative
It definitely went faster than I expected. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the course and learned a lot.

The training modules were informative and easy to follow, unlike the previous website that had me stuck answering one question that never seemed to be the right answer. I want to get my money back from them. It was unfair treatment.
Course layout was user friendly. Course content was easy to digest and provided in an extremely learnable fashion.
The video needs to be watched twice before changing chapter
it was good and long

Easy, and informative
Great

Amazing training
Easy to follow
great
The course regularly repeats information, even if that information was shared only moments ago. It also features an uncomfortable AI voiceover alongside stock photos of a woman, supposedly the same person. The course spends a lot of time sharing redundant or unnecessary information, much of which is completely unrelated to the subject matter of the module or the course as a whole
Very good training course
