Informative, but Dry.

September 18, 2025

Going in, I was not expecting much from this course. The voice over seemed to be computer generated, and the course presentation was extremely sanitized and uninteresting. However, despite covering many topics I already knew, there was still a good amount of content I had no prior knowledge of beforehand, and I ended up learning a fair bit. If your student can get through the dry first impression this course gives off, and has the patience to trudge through some common knowledge early on, I believe they can learn a lot, and become more effective at preparing food safely.

I’am happy I took this training program, I learned to be proactive rather than reactive, have checks and control points for every process as well as help train team for a better functional work environment. safety is a team effort and there is no better way of accomplishing this as having every team member knowledgeable and aware of why processing have to maintained as well as reporting as need be whenever there is any misunderstanding.
