It wasn’t extremally dry or boring, and was to the point. I would recommend.
I felt the training was overall very comprehensive, and while I understand separating modules into very short videos in order to require more attention of a viewer to click for the next part, is better for focus and retention. It was also mildly annoying when combined with load times, and made the overall process feeled like it dragged more.
I loved this training.
I loved it!
It was a short course for the info it was supposed to cover and did a good job of giving lots of information and keeping it flowing.
good
Overall good course
This online course made me feel prepared and ready to enter into a career in the food industry.
It was very to the point and not too hard to accomplish, however very time consuming.
Aprendi muchas cosas que me hacia falta se las recomiendo
I really like the course, went through it very easily. Course was very explanatory with pictures and the guided literature . I enjoyed the teaching method with this video . It very easy to get through and they do not give you a lot of information at one time ,they break it down and you take a quiz in between.
I did have a couple of complications of the program needing to be reset, but Tech Support was very helpful and able to help me out with the issue at times the successfully completed at the end of the video would not pop up and we get me stalled for a minute. Tech Support was able to assist very quickly through chat. I would recommend the course to anyone.
Thanks
Easy to complete
it was overall vey easy
