I wish there was a bit more details going into the cleaning/sanitizing and flow of food areas, but for a general overview of $7 that was pretty informative.

While the test was easy and fast I don’t like how the lessons were drawn out or that you couldn’t fast forward.

I also wish that we could see what questions we got wrong but overall it’s a good program

Small note the lesson part (not the test) took around 7hrs including me taking notes
