This course was great, easy to follow.
Just right with all the information in perfect time span.
Some of the earlier chapter’s quiz’ are a little tricky with their wording, so be sure to read thoroughly.
Great course
I recently completed the TABC Certification Course, and I must say it was an excellent experience. The course was well-structured and covered all the essential topics related to responsible alcohol service. Here are some key points:
Comprehensive Content: The course material was thorough and easy to understand. It covered everything from the legal responsibilities of serving alcohol to recognizing signs of intoxication and handling difficult situations.
Interactive Learning: The interactive modules and quizzes made the learning process engaging. The real-life scenarios helped me understand how to apply the knowledge in practical situations.
Convenient Format: The online format allowed me to complete the course at my own pace, which was very convenient given my busy schedule.
Expert Instructors: The instructors were knowledgeable and provided clear explanations. Their expertise made the complex legal aspects easier to grasp.
Certification Process: The certification process was straightforward, and I received my certificate promptly after completing the course
fine
Very nice
Nice
Took twice as long as necessary because of all the clicking (literally every 10-30 seconds just to keep the training going, and then the next module takes several seconds to load), all over the screen (could at least put buttons next to each other for submitting a quiz answer and then advancing to next question)
