Good learning experience
Making me review the course before I take the exam is putting the cart before the horse.
Está muy perfecto todo
Excelente! bien explicado, claro y objetivo
Wow so easy to use
Simple, easy to follow, excellent information.
The course is 4 hours
This was very informative but it takes entirely too long.
CURSO AMIGABLE DE HACER.
This course is very long and slow paced; it would benefit from having text entries rather than just voice so that fast readers and learners won’t feel distracted and bored. It’s hard to focus when I can’ go at my own pace. Also, the video should have a rewind button instead of just a repeat button. It’s irritating when I just need a small bit repeated, but I have to repeat the entire module just to hear it again.
I think this was a good corse and it was informative however not being able to skip around in the videos until you watch the entire thing makes note taking hard. I also think there was a lot of filler that made the course longer than it needed to be.
Easy to follow and practical. It gave me confidence in safe food handling and sanitation.
Good
