Maybe it’s because my videos loaded slowly, but it took me about 3 hours to get through all the modules, when my supervisor told me know it would take 1.5
Otherwise it was pretty straightforward
In just over an hour, I am able to learn a detailed comprehensive view of proper food handling, risks involved, it’s safety and a good perspective how it impacts our community.
