It was informative
This course was very well made and easy to follow.
Would recommend to others in the field.
I love how this course was able to fit into my schedule. It covered the most important aspects of food safety, etc. I learned so much, too.
While the training is very informative and taught me some new things, I did not like that we have no review questions after going from one module to the next. There is a lot of info to process in 90 minutes so that would have been helpful.
Great information

NA
The best explanation

Took right about an hour and a half, like it said it would. The videos did have an automated voice, which was okay. The animations were decent, so it wasn’t awful sitting through it. Gave a good overview of food handling safety.
well-organized
The content was formatted in a way that was not overwhelming, easy to follow along with. I appreciated the reviews throughout the modules that highlighted some questions I might’ve needed to revisit.
This was a good long informative website and I recommend it.
