It was a good course it glitched a little but was a wonderful learning tool
woohoo
excellent work AAA! you made a not so fun task quite easy to follow along and remember.
I appreciated how it was very helpful and clear yet didn’t make it seem like I was incompetent. Wish it would be faster at loading though!
This course was recommended to me by other HBV, it was easy to set up, take the course and the test. Information is thorough and easy to understand. Lots of visual aids.
loved the course
I enjoyed taking your course. I relearned a lot of information as well as learning new information I did not know before.
Good course
I learned some new methods of food safety that I hadn’t learned in other courses.
I thought this training was super informative and well-structured. It covered everything at a good talking pace as well. Most trainings can be super slow so I appreciated that.
Someone needs to proofread the exam questions, MANY of them are completely incoherent… almost as if AI was involved. Secondly, your use of AI guarantees that I will never use your service again. It is not expensive to hire a voice actor, this module would have been 1 day of labor for a voice artist, extremely affordable and much more ethical than using AI. I appreciate that you are black and woman-owned, I try to support businesses like that, but AI use trounces all.
