well explained
I have learned a lot that I have forgotten when it comes to working with TCS foods and ready to eat foods. I shall put into practice everything I have learned to help other employees at work for the customers sake. even in other places I go to that have an ice machine with a scoop and that have refrigerators for proper storage of food.
The information was easy to understand and retain. Thank you.
This video was informative, easy too understand.
the training was on point and very clear
It’s cute and helpful to have it interact
This course was very effective, and presented information well. However, the User Interface present while completing modules is very frustrating to use. The ‘Module Complete’ popup appears directly over the ‘Next Module’ button and must be dismissed before you are able to proceed. Which slows down the process and is more annoying than any merit it might provide.
Additionally, you cannot use the arrow keys to move through modules, which is also frustrating.
Incredible and easy to go through the entire process. Mobile friendly and very informative
