I like the fact that I could work at my own pace. I have been very preoccupied with life that I could not finish my modules. However, I was able to log on when peace came into my existence. I was able to pass my class because I did it when I was ready. Thank You This is just the beginning.
Learned alot that I thought I already knew
Course was easy to follow and clear in instruction.
i learned alot
It wasn’t even 10 dollars, so it was pretty easy to afford, and it took me about an hour and a half to finish.
Problems with hovering using cell phone. Sometimes it would make me start over when I already completed it. It took about 3 hours to get through it
It was okay, didn’t expect that to happen.
I’d love to cook
Great information!
great
I didn’t like that you had to wait until the “Completed Module” message popped up before hitting the next module button. Other than that it was easy.
I was very impressed with the Training Modules presented by AAA Food Handler. The photos and narrative really helped me to understand and I would recommend them !
