Easy to understand and lots of good information.
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

This course was great, easy to follow.
Just right with all the information in perfect time span.
Some of the earlier chapter’s quiz’ are a little tricky with their wording, so be sure to read thoroughly.
Great course
I recently completed the TABC Certification Course, and I must say it was an excellent experience. The course was well-structured and covered all the essential topics related to responsible alcohol service. Here are some key points:
Comprehensive Content: The course material was thorough and easy to understand. It covered everything from the legal responsibilities of serving alcohol to recognizing signs of intoxication and handling difficult situations.
Interactive Learning: The interactive modules and quizzes made the learning process engaging. The real-life scenarios helped me understand how to apply the knowledge in practical situations.
Convenient Format: The online format allowed me to complete the course at my own pace, which was very convenient given my busy schedule.
Expert Instructors: The instructors were knowledgeable and provided clear explanations. Their expertise made the complex legal aspects easier to grasp.
Certification Process: The certification process was straightforward, and I received my certificate promptly after completing the course
fine
Very nice
Nice
Took twice as long as necessary because of all the clicking (literally every 10-30 seconds just to keep the training going, and then the next module takes several seconds to load), all over the screen (could at least put buttons next to each other for submitting a quiz answer and then advancing to next question)

Great stuff. To the point.
Hi
Simple easy to do online
It was cool to learn safe cooking, holding, and storage temperatures for different foods. Understanding the Danger Zone & how bacteria grow rapidly within it. Also how to use food thermometers correctly.
The AI voice sucks. At several points, it clearly misunderstood the language it was reading. It also made it hard to pay attention. Just hire someone to do the read next time
I like how easy it is and that is step by step
