An could be potentially a biological hazard if the proper precautions are not taken in consideration.
The questions were very well worded.

very helpful review
This was a very user friendly course and content wasn’t overwhelming. Throughout the course you repeated key points which made it easier to take notes and even study.
The review questions made me feel excited when I scored well and completed the session.
Overall Im definitely pleased with this course.
I hate mandatory training, but this course was at least easy to use. Could pause and resume easily.
As you work through this program, if you accidentally hit the next button 1 second too early, your only option is to start the entire module over again. A complete waste of valuable time and unecessary. The program should be sophisticate enough to track your progress; particularly for the cost.
It’s not necessary for anyone to know this company is a woman owned, minority owned company. That’s called discrimination.

El curso muy bueno ,educativo y mucha información para mantener un lugar de trabajo fuera de peligros.
Training was good, the information presented was very thorough. There were a few questions asked out of order, when the information had not been covered before review questions were asked. But overall, good.
This is the 2nd time taking the course. The first time was in person and the 2nd time now is online. It was a pleasure to be able to stay in the comfort of my home and take the course. The information was presented in a way that made learning it easy. It was also very easy to follow.
Very user friendly and easy to follow.

Great content, audio only worked on ~10% of slides. Thank goodness for closed captioning!
It is what it is
Very informative and well documented.
The course was long but surprisingly enjoyable, learnt a lot of information which I took for granted before.
Clear and easy to understand lessons on food safety and handling protocols. Test was a breeze upon completion of the modules.
I found the videos very informing and enlightening
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.
I found the course very knowledgeable and interesting
Very helpful and engaging.
well explained course with interactive questions for consolidating knowledge
Very helpful!
