Good training, with some recommendations...

Multiple times, there would be questions asked that had not yet been mentioned only for the answer to come AFTER the quiz. Most notably was when asking about cooking times in relations to reducing possible bacteria or viruses and a question came up about Trichinella for cooking pork, however that wasn’t mentioned until immediately after the question so there’s no way for the person to know the answer to the question.

This course was a shorter course than others I had found online. It moved at a rapid pace keeping me focused. I learned some new facts which was very helpful. I liked the short quizzes in-between the modules. I also liked that this is a woman and minority-owned business. I will definitely recommend this course to others who need this certification.
