The chat support sold me and my wife but the course needs some tweaks

Remove the completed module pop up that pops up right on top of the Next Module link. Enable auto play when clicking the Next module button. Sometimes we miss something, and we need to rewind a bit. The only way to go back is to watch the whole module.

This was a good review for me

I took CDM and CFPP courses years ago while working in a hospital, this was a perfect refresher course.

Jennifer

Very concise and helpful

This course was extremely concise, descriptive, and easy to navigate through. It was far more entertaining than merely reading a training manual because it constantly kept me engaged through interactive segments, including the section reviews. I would recommend this course to those wanting to become food managers at their respective food establishments.
