A lot of things to remember like cooking temps, pathogens, etc. Wish there was a training more geared toward mobile food trailers and less restaurant.
Gave me a foundation to build on
Very insightful course!
In my personal opinion I had no problem with the information as it was readily presented, my issue was with several videos presented there was no option to turn on closed captioning of the narration which I found irritating taking the test at work with ambient noise in the bathroom. also not bolding keywords for a negative question did trip me up. If that how the questions are presented during the real exam, I myself will be more careful.
Very Informative. Good information for anyone in the food industry.
great presentation
Made me learn a few things i didnt know
The visuals and videos were interesting and visually appealing. It was easy to follow and I like the quizzes at the end to help retain the information.
easy

Videos were boring and nonengaging. Should have text options instead
Informative videos that are easy to follow. The test felt fair based on what was covered in the modules.
The course was very simple yet informative, and there were small tests between some slides.
Overall great training within this archaic structure. Graphics, audio and visual learning, and some questions before the exam I thought helped highlight the key pieces and support my understanding of the content.
I wish the interface was a bit more user-friendly (multiple times I had to restart a module when I tried to advance to the next). I wish the Closed Captions setting would remain the same throughout all modules, instead of resetting every module. It was also annoying that the “Module Complete” notification popped up in front of the “Next Module” button. It meant for every module I needed to click the “X” on the pop up before advancing – super annoying with the number of modules.
