Informative, but a lot of videos

September 20, 2025

This course was very helpful and taught me a lot of information that I will need when starting a food business. However, as someone who learns through interacting with problems and questions, rather that just watching videos, I think I could have learned more if there were more problems and questions to answer throughout the videos.

I appreciated the clear method of explaining requirements along with visual aide. This course helped me better understand the differences and correlation between biological, chemical, physical, and cross-contamination hazards. I wasn’t aware of all of the risks involved in the food service industry. Not only am I able to help create a safe environment for our food business, but am more aware of the conditions and potential risks while taking my family out to eat at other food establishments. I am grateful that standards, policy, and procedures have been put in place to help keep people safe. In addition, I appreciated the mini-quiz opportunities with the immediate feedback to help me better monitor my progress.

Overly repetitive and redundant

June 23, 2024

The course regularly repeats information, even if that information was shared only moments ago. It also features an uncomfortable AI voiceover alongside stock photos of a woman, supposedly the same person. The course spends a lot of time sharing redundant or unnecessary information, much of which is completely unrelated to the subject matter of the module or the course as a whole
