Great training course full of details

September 16, 2025

This training course went over so many things that I would’ve never thought of before and gave me a better understanding on food safety. I am confident that I will be maintaining a safe and clean work environment from now on

Joselin

Clear and to the point

September 16, 2025

As someone running a restaurant, time is of the essence. These trainings contain a lot of material and as stated by the course “mandatory training is never fun”. But I really enjoyed the clear and to the point material because over explaining can lead to a bit of second guessing and room to question, therefor more questions arise. Restaurants are black and white for the most part, and i found this training helpful in that way. Do’s and Don’ts. Be on your way. I recommend the manager training I took for anyone needing to get this done and needing to learn the content efficiently.

I greatly enjoyed this program! The information was easy to understand and follow and the graphics used allowed me to better visualize the concepts. I do wish that information charts were shown for a bit longer on screen, but other than that it was great.

Course Review

September 13, 2025

This course was very informative and suited to my learning style. The only thing that could’ve improved my experience is if I were able to rewind the video before watching it fully. There were somethings I need to watch back and had trouble finding the time mark when the video was over.
