NONE
Cons: Asked questions before things were went over to know the answer instead of after going over that information. Sometimes have to repeat sections to be able to go to the next due to pausing to write information for studying purposes.
Pros: Found to be informative and direct. Interactive features helped to learn. Can learn at own pace and within my own time frame due to being online and the availability that allows.

good information
Please let us take the exam without the training. It takes way to much time for those of us who have taken it multiple times before.
simple to follow, great design and flow.
it was okay but it was confusing and had trouble moving to the next module
The robo voice was very hard to pay attention to, and if I hadn’t found this site on a government website I would be concerned about the legitimacy of this course.
Great course!!
Much better than the food movies used in qwick app
The course is easy to understand and doesn’t take that long to complete.
The modules were very easy to follow, all of them were very engaging and interesting.
Very thorough course to receive food handlers! Not to much info and not to little, it is perfect to understand safety.
Thank you for providing good and thorough training for a new small business starting out from a home kitchen (cottage food). I hope to pass my exam with flying colors!
I enjoyed the visuals of the training. It truly leaves an imprint with how food can be unsanitary, cross-contaminated, and unsafe. The over-all training was effective with understanding the cause and effect of food preparation.
Easy to follow along and well laid out.
Too easy
Its good to correspond the knowledge I’ve learned through this course with what I currently know.
