Training was cool I like the way it set up simple easy to navigate and very easy to understand
There was good information, but the experience was not great. Here are some things I really did not like: the robot narrator was very annoying; the timing was often off between the audio and video; I could not go back to certain points in the video without replaying the entire video; the section on variances was not covered well; but then there are several points that get repeated many times. Repetition is good for learning, but these videos can be rewatched as many times as needed. Some of us don’t need that much repetition, and it just makes for an unnecessarily longer video.
This course is a quick, easy, and highly informative course. Would recommend.
Very straightforward and easy to navigate. Able to take notes and pause & stop when I wanted to.
would be better if it was shorter
me parece muy bien toda la informacion que nos da este curso para dar un buen servicio y evitar cualquier enfermedad. Es muy importante saber todo acerca de la manipulacion de la comida
Simple, user friendly and informational.
There are a lot of “modules” but they go by fast and are easy to understand.
great program
Been in the industry for 10 years. Great learning experience
Been in the restaurant industry for 10 years now. With this course I’ve learned things I haven’t seen or noticed before. Thank!
Easy to understand and lots of good information.
This course was easy to navigate and all the information was easy to understand!
I learned alot of new information about food handling and it was great to get a refresher on all the different aspects of food handling.
This is the best course that I did. The topics are nicely structured and divided to easy understand. I dint even realized that I was going through a training as it was like a real time conversation with examples.
The test answer choices need to be reviewed for errors and corrected. Not very professional
