Good Stuff!
It was an easy and Interesting course. I learned things I did not know .
The importance of keep food safe to avoid any outbreak. The importance of keeping the food facilities clean and safe. The importance of give training to your staff and record and report everything. The importance of times and temperatures in a food facility.
I like how the course simplify things!
Simple yet effective information
Learned a lot.
All the information was good and it presented what it said I needed to know for the exam. It was frustrating not to be able to rewind or jump back within a module. There were many times I missed a little bit of what was said or was taking notes and needed to restart an entire module because I missed a single sentence.
alot of helpful information and very clear
Great information
