Very thorough.
Learned some new things, website hung up a few times.
I enjoyed getting the information I needed thank you.
While there were many videos that felt slightly overwhelming, each video was fairly short and easily digestible.
Modules were well explained with images, and very easy to understand.
The class was great. I had lots of fun thank you.
The mandatory training wasn’t as bad as some. I liked the visual pictures and also reading the closed caption as I listened to the trainer.
Very informative and helpful.
Not bad like price
pre Siri level of AI sounding voice. The creators didnt even take the time to record a real human… advertised as “minority and woman owned”, this should never be something to profit off of, and im a minority who owns a business. Test was full of “gatcha” type questions.
One less because sometimes the audio would glitch out. I don’t know if that was because I was doing it through a phone instead of a computer but it did not hinder learning and was only a little frustrating since I could reload and it would be fixed or I could read the subtitles.
Very easy to follow, engage and understand. Love that it is woman and minority owned!

It was a very thorough training program and the exam reflects what was being taught. I would highly recommend those in the food service industry to follow through on this.
Very important for law enforcement knowledge.
good
I liked the course however the narrator is a robot which made it harder to listen.
I thought the modules were interesting. I took six pages of notes. The navigation was easy.
The videos robot voice sounded so bad so boring. They should a a person do the voice over
it was easy to follow along with
I knew a lot but also learned a lot!
Mientras estaba viendo los videos, estaba tomando notas en una libreta frequentemente. Pero despues de entrar al examen, note que mucha de la informacion en los videos era innecesaria o demasiado detallada. Solo utilize como un 15% de mis notas. Muchos videos y mucha informacion.
some of the answers for the questions could have been revised to make more sense.
Very thorough yet fast course.
Lots of good and helpful information.
It was good, very knowledgeable slides.
