I have been in this industry for 40 years and i have never had trouble with any test exam or online course…this was not user friendly at all. the page had no rewind? if yo miss headr you had to listen all over again. at one point i stop to move to bed room and had to redo 12 modules? sometimes the guide told yo to turn the page ” click next module” sometime just had to assume it was the end of section…at the end irrelevant question or two almost like ???? did they mean to say that or was it miswritten. I do not normlly write reviews but when i can skip to the end of a test and pass it over 40 years it very alarming at best to be stuck on a computer for 3 hours whenyou advertise 2. Yo need to out a rewind and fast forward for sure

There was just one quiz question when the material was presented afterwards, and a few of the “negative” questions that was easy to trip up on. Otherwise it was well done and very well presented. Was recommended and will recommend to others.
Course was ok but the videos could be better. You can’t really take the videos back if you missed something you have to restart. But overall it was simple and to the point, easy to understand. Haven’t taken the test so not sure if the test has most of the info taught in the course or not.
Good
very satisfy

it was well presented, educational & easy to understand
Was dreading doing more learning, but these modules were easy to lesson to. Kept me engaged and thinking throughout the learning process.
I learned so much from this course I took to achieve my food handers card in order to work in restaurants or fast food facilities. I am so grateful these lessons were simple and easily taught.
Simple
easy to use
The training was clear and informative. I felt that it could have been set up to automatically go to the next slide. I felt it took up a lot of time maneuvering through the training.
It’s a great ,simple and very clear curse!!
Preparation for managing food saftey
I had to frequently change the device I was learning on because videos would not show up. Audio was also very rare and captions would also lag behind.
