I was literally thawing a steak on the counter and put it in the fridge, then watched the section on thawing food. 🙂 Fun stuff.
Does exactly what it needs to, but the artificial voice is grating and the volume is inconsistent

This course was really easy to undersatnd and it kept your interest
good
Lacking a lot of details. Several contradicting statements. Some review test had questions that had not yet been discussed.
Great information and easy to use course
Interesting tools
All computer training is boring. This was informative and I learned a lot. Thank you AAA.
I found this module very interesting and informative. I also found a few things I did not know about. Thank you for allowing me to use your course.
this review was very informative and easy to follow.
Material was presented well and very easy to follow along.
Each food and beverage facility should have taken this course years ago, a lot of helpful tips.
Well organized, appropriate check points and highly engaging.
it is long but to the point
The video module setup of this course was extremely helpful and was structured in a way that allowed the topics to be broken down. Due to it being video based, it kept me engaged vs. having to sit and read 10 modules of information which could get redundant and can cause the user to lose focus. The other thing I felt was helpful were the mini quizzes to test your learning. That was helpful to make sure you’re understanding what’s being shown. The only thing I would change or explain in better detail are the cooking temperatures for the different types of meats. It felt that was swiftly explained and temperatures weren’t brought up any more after that module, so it’s difficult to remember the temps as they weren’t prioritized the best. Other than that, I would recommend this course to others as it’s information pact and presented in an engaging way.
I needed recertification training fast and on my own time. This was perfect
GOOD STUFF.
