The training provides a lot of ways to be clean when working with foods and also teaches you alot about bacteria and how to prevent it from spreading.
I think that a few of the questions could have been less targeted at specific recollection pieces, especially the ones where I was being told to classify certain things, as I feel like they are not as applicable in a real world situation.
Easy and fast.
