gets the job done, but has some pain points.

June 16, 2025

This course covers everything it needs to, and I was happy to hear it is majority women and minority owned. The material is presented in an easily digestible way.

At the same time, the AI voice is grating to me, it is distracting and sometimes messes up pronunciation, making the material more confusing than it needs to be. Also, sometimes review questions are asked about material that is not yet covered, specifically in the section about different pathogens. Lastly, please stop spreading the misinformation that MSG is a dangerous additive, this is and has always been untrue and racist, and has been debunked over and over.

Solid, Has One Important Innacuracy

August 9, 2024

It was straight forward! The frequent quizzes in between were good in verifying retention of knowledge and checking that we are paying attention. However, although I know that this program focuses on safety, I wish there was way more technical information on the preparation aspect of bartending such as alcohol types, mixing, and measurements for those of us that have never been behind a bar. I also noticed an inaccuracy; in one of the sections it states that 18-20 year old bartenders cannot pour alcohol but this is not true. According to the B & P Code 25663 – Employment of Minors on the federal ABC website as of currently, it says that within certain restrictions minors between the ages of 18-20 can serve alcohol. This service of alcohol describes delivery, presentation, opening, and/or pouring of alcohol. Please update this as it is important for those of us between the ages of 18-20 looking to bartend to have access to accurate information.
