Food Manager Reviews

Easy to understand and follow
Easy to follow common sense no surprises
Very informative and easy to understand information.
I learned a lot about food service
The course is very clear and detailed. The best part of it is that you can stop and go back whenever you have time or are ready to continue.
Not every slide had a CC option. If for some reason a slide needed to be paused, CC started over while the slide continued. And the narrator had a fairly monotone voice, making it a little hard for me to concentrate
The videos give lots of information. I do wish that you could rewind on each video. Especially because if you’re taking notes, sometimes you only wanna go back five seconds and not have to start the video all over again
Este curso es muy completo y aprendi mucho a como debe ser el funcionamiento en una cocina de cualquier restaurante.! Excelente!!! es muy dinamico, entretenido y super educativo…. Gracias!
AAA+++
easy to complete and easy to understand
easy to understand and many details as became food manager
I finished the course fast, and it was very simple to understand and follow trough
Very complete course, very didactic and easy to understand, I recommend it
I liked the course, I thought it was good. I jut wish that we could speed up the video playback. I have ADD and I can get understimulated when people talk too slow
I love how the course covers all the material, and when the review questions popped up, I was happy that it was easier then I thought. It gives me the confidence that I will pass the exam!
Everything is great except that there are some times where you think that you are done with a module but then find out you aren’t, you end up having to rewatch the entire module
