Food Manager Reviews
4.9
The training was vey good. There were a few times, that I reviewed the lesson more than once, just to be sure I was understanding. I was also having trouble with internet connection.
informative…
Good details
I loved the the this training. Explanations and visuals made it so much easier.
not bad. i liked how everything is in short videos, the review questions after each subject is great
Informative, reassuring. I wish everyone was taught all this and it was just standard everywhere.
I enjoyed the course. The information was to the point and I liked all the images, very helpful for visual learners.
I disliked that I couldn’t rewind. I did a lot of pausing so I could write notes. I would have given 5 stars but not having the ability to rewind was a little frustrating because if you aren’t quick enough with your note taking, you have to start the section all over if you’d want to go back. I used the Closed Captions (CC) to help me write more notes and allowed me to keep up.
Overall, great information, the voice was pleasant, great session reviews between each session, great visuals. I will recommend to others and I will continue to use this platform in the future.
Thank you to everyone who put this together.
Very informative and concise. Worth every penny!
