this training was clear and professional the only thing I would have to make it better is a way to tell how far you are into the course, if you are on a time line it would be nice to know how much you have left.
This course is imperative to any individual working within the restaurant industry. And extremely helpful to those working within their own kitchens.
It was hard at first but I only made it so by moving to fast but I hope I pass
Very informative
I really enjoyed this course because it’s well-organized and easy to follow. What I appreciate the most is how interactive it is, which makes learning dynamic and engaging. The practical exercises and activities helped me understand the concepts better and retain the information more effectively.
As a suggestion, it would be great to have a summary or a quick review quiz at the end of each module. This would help reinforce the key points and ensure all the information has been absorbed.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with the experience.
I’m the best in the world thank you thank you next gordon ramesey

HELPED IN WAY I CAN EXPLAIN
fue todo UN retro que al final logre
todo estubo excelente El curso
It’s easely to lern
Gave me some good points to pass on my team and myself. Easy to follow and not to dragged out on the info.
The course was not painful. It was appropriate in length and in content.
The training was pretty straight forward and understandable. The only issues I had were you can’t rewind the video, only restart the entire clip which means if you missed one detail you have to sit through the entire clip again for that one moment. Another issue I had was certain modules would have severe delay from the audio to video, and refreshing the page did not help the issue.
Lengthy
Everything was knowledgeable
This was a really good course, I have taken several and I really appreciate how this one went through everything and the quizzes at the end of each segmant.
I really enjoyed taking this course I truly learned so much more
In the restaurant business nd hope this helps in my future

I feel very prepared to take the test.
Very useful
Wish closed captioning would stay on when you changed modules and did not have to be turned back on every time.
Section 3.2 Part 1 is missing. It just plays Part 2 instead. I have serious doubts about all the 5 star reviews at this point.
Lengthy and tedious but I recognize the importance of each category.

I have learn more about food safety and prevention infection for food diseases. It’s very informative and easy to understand every topic.
All good, but consider letting modules to be backed up to allow time to take notes on temps and acronyms. Otherwise very well presented. Thanks!
This was a great course, it laid out everything needed to know while using fun and engaging layouts and interactive prompts along the way!
