The modules were to the point and highlighted important details only. I like that the modules would repeat important information throughout the course. It tied everything together.
The information was put together nicely. Fantastic animations and great flow. It was very informative, easy to follow, and in segments that were quite manageable to process.

NICE COURSE
I’ve worked in the food industry on and off since I was a teenager. I took this course to start my own business. While I knew majority of this course through hands on exposure, it was a great way to refresh things like food borne illnesses and facility equipment. It is a course that needs to be prioritized on time, but it’s super easy to access from a link at home.
This made mandatory training very easy to follow and it is very comprehensive

The training materials were fair. The AI voice had very poor diction, mispronouncing a few words and getting the emphasis wrong in several sentences. The negative effect was very noticeable, to me. The exam was significantly worse. At least 5 questions has contradictory or poorly written answer pools. Is it really so difficult to hire an extra HR generalist to write training courses?
The material was easy to read, informative, and allows you to repeat until you are clear on all questions.
Awesome , easy to understand
I received valuable information about food handling, preparation, cooking, and storage. Maintaining cleanliness is essential in a food business. This knowledge is a great way to learn before starting a food business.
