Easy to follow and very good price

Very good price. Content very clear. I have done lots of the food hygiene courses over the years sat in a room with a teacher but this is much better because you can go back to look at things again and stop when you need to.

easy to navigate

The course was good-enough; it was clear and easy to navigate. I have edited a part about finding spelling mistakes as the company has responded (as below) and taking actions to correct, which is fab!
