i am happy with my review
it was excellent
The training was thorough and easy to understand. I appreciated the quiz checkpoints to review main points from the section. I would recommend this course to someone else.
Very detailed and great for note taking. I like how everything is set up so I can go back and access anything I want again.
THE COURSE WAS SO HELPFUL. VERY UNDERSTANDING. YOU COULD PAUSE AND GO BACK. ALSO LOVED THE PACE YOURSELF .
Covered all the bases and had interactive questions during every module.
Great learning course. Straight to the point and visuals make it easy to learn
This course taught me everything I need to know on managing a business and it is thorough and easy to understand. It helped me a lot.
Very Good Course
I enjoyed the training. Very informative.
The course was simple and easy to understand. If the test questions are covered fully by this training then it highly recommend. This request for a review was made just as I completed the training, but before taking the exam.
Still some parts that I feel could have been pointed out better. But overall more effective learning than Serv Safe I thought.
This course was very thorough, involved a lot of review, and was paced-efficiently. Completed modules within a day and was ready to start taking practice exams soon after.
