A great refresher

July 5, 2025

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.

AI training courses

October 17, 2025

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?
