Content was easy to understand and follow. A few questions had answers not covered in the content of the course.
i like that it includes the information in a concise way and explained in a way that everyone can understand it
Fast, clear and easy to do course.
Very helpful
Great experience
My only time with how this training system works is to make sure to pause when you want to take notes on something. The module will keep going and you can’t rewind without rewatching the whole module. Other than that it was excellent and easy to use!
great and informative course

It was a good course. Wish the person talked a bit faster or you could change the speed a bit. Since it talked so slow, I spaced out at times but overall, it was a good course. Got to the point of the modules quickly and efficiently.
It took me 3 days from start to finish. Because I kept falling asleep. I was in my room where it too quiet. But your class was waiting for me when woke up with a
Sore neck. I like that the course requires interaction to proceed to course.
Took me 45 mins
This test could be a little long but it is very informative and allows you to rewatch and go back to review.
Helped me learn ways to be cautious with food handling.
Audio didn’t work at first and I had to switch to my tablet. After that everything went well.
I definitely learned all I needed to, and it was quick and easy, but there were some modules where the audio wouldn’t come on so I had to turn on and read the subtitles. It wasn’t necessarily bad, just inconvenient
Informative but could be more summarized
It is a easy to understand course, appreciate it being self paced. A lot to take in but very informative.
Nice
Pay attention to the numbers.
Questions on exam meant to stump, not to actually prove proficiency.
GOOD COURSE
