Great info
VERY THOROUGH. EXCELLENT COURSE.
I like the detailed information but I find it to be quite premature as far as the questions goes. I was being asked questions that were upcoming and had to guess the answer. The questions should not be asked if it wasn’t previously discussed.
easy to follow – didn’t like having to go at someone else’s pace.
This was actually pretty fun
Very detailed and it gave me great insight on alcohol beverage service responsibility.
A lot of common sense mixed with a good dose of legalese
Learned a ton.
The presentation was informative and well paced. The quizzes were helpful. I wish he quizzes showed me the correct answer for the questions I got wrong.
While the RBS training course was quite thorough, the follow up on Exam Scheduling is very unclear and confusing. The is no direct direction and the email received simply tells me to check my messages while at the same time displaying “There are no messages in my message directory” Over all i would say the end point of the training course fell short of expecations.
I loved it
This is awesome
Ok
This course was very good, because of how easy it was to understand everything in the course and makes sure that you are paying attention through quizzes after each module.
