Took right about an hour and a half, like it said it would. The videos did have an automated voice, which was okay. The animations were decent, so it wasn’t awful sitting through it. Gave a good overview of food handling safety.
well-organized

This course was relatively quick. Everything presented was done so in a simple, easy to understand way and was also quick and to the point. I took notes, but I feel that the review questions along the way were helpful and I probably didn’t need the extra notes I have.
I enjoyed the course, I enjoyed the pace, the visuals, the explanations etc!
It was a very long course but it helped me a lot to prepare for the exam.

Very well explained and expressed
and easy to understand to put into practice
This training was very informative and easy to follow. It was great that you could go at your own pace, especially in my case where I needed to break it up into different times do to my busy schedule. I liked that I could go back to certain points of the video if needed and I could rewatch all together if there were any points I felt like I didn’t fully comprehend while watching. I also appreciate that captions were available! I have a difficult time hearing, so that is a very useful tool for someone like me!
It was long but they had parts that I found helpful and it was good it was just super long that’s all
Thorough and easy to follow
considero que a sido una clase muy importante
