super good
Amazing experience
I like the Mouse Buttons and that you can change answer after you mark the Button before you Submit.
The course if simple, yet it contains lots of useful information.
Easy to follow and relatively painless. I felt like my time was respected, it didn’t take long at all and I learned a lot. Though I swear that question about whether customers are allowed to reuse plates cups and bowls at self service stations wasn’t touched on in the lessons. Maybe another run through just to make absolutely sure all the test questions are covered in the videos is needed? Also, multiple times I found myself trying to rewind to hear something again and it seems you’re unable to use the progress bar at the bottom of a video to rewind, even after watching it all the way through. This meant that if I really needed to hear something again I’d have to watch the video back all the way to that point to see it again. Maybe allow us to skim through timestamps once we’ve finished watching? That’s all I have to complain about though, overall fine experience outside of that.
This was actually very helpful, and I like how the video was actually informative, and there was at least one question from every part of the video, and it was very easy to use.

Good information and very informative
Would love content about covid practices.
The course is very interesting.
The slides and demonstrating videos are easy to follow, understandable, and key-words captured.

Time consuming. I’m more of a reader learner, so the videos were a bit tedious but effective.
Very informative
Very helpful
I found the course easy to follow, and appreciated being able to take it at my own pace and as my schedule allowed. There was just enough interaction within the course to keep my attention, and it was easy to take breaks or make notes without needing to restart a section. I also appreciated the running tally of how much of the course I had completed.
This course was very detailed and provided easy to understand visuals and imagery aides. I learned more in this course than I have so far in my degree for IT management. Simply because this is more organized, interesting, and has videos and visuals to guide you through the process. They have interactive portions throughout to ensure you understand. I enjoyed this course and will definitely refer it to others!
good
videos load up fast, and get straight to the point.!
