el curso esta muy sencillo si prestas atención
it was detailed and easy to follow with interactive moments to help learn
Very informative and educative.
It got boring at times but I learned some good facts and relearned some common sense
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.
I had the best experience and best training course teacher. She explained everything throughly and understanding.
easy to use

Wonderfull
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.
Great stuff
