Food Manager Reviews

Simple, easy to follow, excellent information.
The course is 4 hours
This was very informative but it takes entirely too long.
CURSO AMIGABLE DE HACER.
This course is very long and slow paced; it would benefit from having text entries rather than just voice so that fast readers and learners won’t feel distracted and bored. It’s hard to focus when I can’ go at my own pace. Also, the video should have a rewind button instead of just a repeat button. It’s irritating when I just need a small bit repeated, but I have to repeat the entire module just to hear it again.
I think this was a good corse and it was informative however not being able to skip around in the videos until you watch the entire thing makes note taking hard. I also think there was a lot of filler that made the course longer than it needed to be.
Easy to follow and practical. It gave me confidence in safe food handling and sanitation.
Good
none
I feel like I got all the information but it was so incredibly boring. You couldn’t spring for an actual voice-over actor to read the script? The automated voice was terrible.
The AI generated voice was like fingernails on a chalkboard
I think this course was very informative and helped you learn what we can do to be the best food handlers.
I thought the course was very easy to follow and understand.
I am a didactic adhd learner and love to do as I learn so the course review tests were awesome.. however I wish there was a way to speed up the videos, so they kept my attention
The program was easy to follow and understand, it also was not very time consuming.
This is well structured, easy to start, stop, and ultimately finish.
Speaker speaks fast enough to make it efficient
