I will be following all food and safety guideline and to ensure that my staff and i do the right thing.
Over-all good job
The random quizzes can be confusing because they ask questions that have not be cover at the point of the quiz. So, you end up guessing on some of the quiz questions then learning the answers after you resume the course. Someone needs to proofread the course to correct these. Also, I think you should be able to print the course out so it can be studied like a workbook.
I found that the course was in depth and informative. it has prepared me to be aware and conscious of the actions of myself and staff to protect the health of our customers.
