slow the video down a bit

It was helpful, but I would miss some information, so I went back over the video. I still miss the information, but it was still helpful, and I got some questions right.

AAA Food Handlers test

September 5, 2025

It was quick and simple. I didn’t like that when I’d click next module and go back I’d have to completely restart whatever video I was on and not just resume. Or that I couldn’t just go back in the videos if I missed something. It was a bit slow sometimes but other than that everything was good.
