Very thorough and prepared content.
This course is informative, well organized, and easy to manage around other life events if necessary
todo esta bien solo unas palabras en español no son entendibles
It was fine, I just wish I could have adjusted the speed. I have ADHD which makes it difficult for me to process slower speech. It’s actually easier for me to process what someone is saying when their pace matches the pace of my brain. Please consider adding this feature, as it would make it more accessible.
very good information
It was a very educational course. It highlighted things that might get over looked in a day to day setting I would recommend this course for any one in the food business not just to those getting their safe serv. certification.
Course was good, informative, and it was very intuitive
remind me the food handling knowledge
This course was great and well organized
As a manager should follow the guideline properly:
Have HACCP plan, avoid food from biological, chemical, physical, and cross-contamination, have a good personal hygiene, manage time and temperature correctly and understand about hand washing, dishwashing properly.
Fine
This is a good program. I would truly give it a 5 star if the process to take the test was simple such as being able to use the laptop with the use of my cell phone and a room blank room. Not really feasible and a challenge in itself. The coarse was simple but also long and had moments of information that was not truly needed in my opinion. I have several managers needing this class but will decide after I take the test if this is what I will be requiring them to take.
It was good. informative
This website is very explanatory. This website takes its time of teaching you the subjects and explain them as well. It worked very well for me and I had no trouble whatsoever.
