I’m using this course to be certified for a food booth I’m starting soon. I really enjoyed how clear and easy to understand the videos were and I liked being able to test my knowledge at the end of each session. I feel I have some valuable information to pass on to anyone I work with and a basic understanding of how to share it too.

Thanks.

It's Ok

September 20, 2024

The information was good, but the experience of taking the course was frustrating for several reasons: (1) You can not rewind!!!! If you miss something you have to watch the whole thing just to get that one tiny pc of info! Adds more time! (2) If you don’t click “next module” fast enough, it starts all over again, and you can’t go to the next module until current is complete, even though you already watched it. (3) If you click on “next module” too soon, it forces you to watch the whole thing all over again!!! (4) They speak too fast! Sometimes you miss what they say, and some of what they say is not on the screen.(5) The handbook/booklet is not available until the end of the course!
