Good Program, Good Presentation

08/09/26

The program does not have videos and is done with real time sketching, which is interesting. The presenter is a really good speaker and reader. I was impressed. I am a food scientist with 45 years experience of food processing. The information is solid with introductory levels of detail. It’s accurate and broad based in food safety components. It would help the participants to do a better job at their parts of food safety in their work or lives. I think this is a pretty good program.

Thank you for the thoughtful review Robert! Our training uses narrated animated sketch videos rather than traditional generic videos, so we’re glad the format stood out to you. We especially appreciate your comments on the accuracy and breadth of training given your 45 years of experience as a food scientist. Congratulations on getting certified!
