It was a long process but it was actually very knowledgeable and I learned a couple of things.
This training was easy to follow and very informative. 🙂
The test was great
this training was clear and professional the only thing I would have to make it better is a way to tell how far you are into the course, if you are on a time line it would be nice to know how much you have left.
This course is imperative to any individual working within the restaurant industry. And extremely helpful to those working within their own kitchens.
It was hard at first but I only made it so by moving to fast but I hope I pass
Very informative
I really enjoyed this course because it’s well-organized and easy to follow. What I appreciate the most is how interactive it is, which makes learning dynamic and engaging. The practical exercises and activities helped me understand the concepts better and retain the information more effectively.
As a suggestion, it would be great to have a summary or a quick review quiz at the end of each module. This would help reinforce the key points and ensure all the information has been absorbed.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with the experience.
I’m the best in the world thank you thank you next gordon ramesey
