Well organized, thoughtfully delineated material!

July 14, 2025

I appreciate the concise way the slides were put together, the pace of the narrator, the systematic way the content was organized, the review sections along the way, and hope the structure of the exam follows suit! There are many companies who offer this course, and I don’t know how they compare, but this one was really great.

This was a well put together course with nice information such as knowing proper drink serving sizes, checking to make sure people are of age and what the correct proof of it is, and also how to politely refuse giving drink and simultaneously help out the customer and business. It was all pretty straight forward stuff to me. Although there were a few specifically worded questions and answers that have tripped me up a couple of times.
