Navigated all the necessary topics in a straighforward way.
I have been in the food industry for a long time, and knew what to do and what not to do, but this course taught me many new reasons why those rules existed, and made them make more sense. Thank you!
Shows toy everything you should really know!
Great class

nice and simple, straight forward
the videos are short but informative enough to learn the necessary food handling techniques.
Great Course. Easy to follow and covers everything needed to be successful in the restaurant industry.
Was very easy to understand
This course costs money, I take issue with this for a couple big reasons. For one, this is all extremely long which wouldn’t be an issue if I didn’t have to listen to a stupid text-to-speech ROBOT speaking the entire time. HIRE A HUMAN BEING TO READ LINES FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD PLEASE. You had the audacity to show an image of a human being, but then give the most soulless, most infuriatingly monotone, unengaging voice imaginable. Not to mention the audio quality of said voice randomly dips and sounds scratchy or like it’s coming through a speaker that’s just a little underwater. This course is not worth ANY money, not even the low cost it is. I get that it’s minority run, which I appreciate but using your precious robot to “save” money simply is not worth it. Google maps GPS is unironically easier to listen to. Thank you, do better.
It was easy access to the class and super organized easy to understand!:)

I love that this course was so quick, affordable for me, and easily accessible to obtain. I do wish that they would hire a voiceover artist though rather than the AI/bot reading. It would make the valuable information so much more enjoyable to listen through. I would love to provide this service if need be.
great
