Overall pretty good

August 13, 2025

Good information and well thought out descriptions. I would recommend using a real voice-over instead of ai voice as it can make the experience a bit mundane and unpleasant. The ai voice tends to change in quality between sections, often switching from clear to muddy.

Informative Course, Easy to Understand

December 15, 2024

Easy and informative food safety course. The only couple of things I wish this program offered was the ability to play videos in slightly faster speeds and being able to start the video from a specific part in the middle of the lecture without having to start it all over again and watch it from the beginning. Otherwise, wonderful.
