April 10, 2025

All too often, people don’t realize the importance of handwashing. Not only for personal hygiene but also when touching something that could be potentially hazardous when handling food. I feel that part of this training was explained the best.

I took tons of notes because I didn’t know you’d give us the workbook at the end. I guess I didn’t need to take all these notes because that aspect of it was stressful to me, however, I’m glad I did because it makes retaining the information better. This information is very important and it’s great knowledge to have if you work in this business.

Navigation was awkward

October 2, 2025

I learned some new things from this course, even though I have taken this type of course many times before. I liked the fresh, colorful images used in the course. I kept thinking, “I want to eat that food.”

It was often difficult to recognize when the course wanted input other than clicking Next Module. It was visually unclear that I was supposed to do something else in order to progress. This led to having to go back and redo a module unnecessarily. I felt like the Next Module button shouldn’t have worked if I wasn’t ready to proceed. That, at least, would have prompted me to look for another needed input.
