I recently attended the FSMA / FSPCA Preventive Controls for Human Food course that was conducted by Rachel and was absolutely thrilled with the learning experience I had. Rachel is very knowledgeable and really cares about this topic where she had over 30 plus years of real world experience in food safety. Apart from the course, Rachel even took some time to research into particular areas that I was interested in and provided her guidance that were greatly beneficial to me. In combination of her passion, experience, knowledge and ability to actively engage the students, I have no doubt that she is probably one of the best instructors to learn this course from!

Rachel Montgomery was exceptional, instructing the class in a clear, concise and professional manner. She captured the attention of the class through having class/instructor interaction and involvement in the subject matter and made sure we were comfortable asking questions. She has an exceptional command of the subject matter and made the class quite enjoyable clarifying all questions and points of concern. I chose the virtual course as it offered the most flexibility in terms of when the course was offered and the fact that travel wasn’t necessary to attend the live-video instruction, very convenient and practical.

Rachel never lost a beat with the information she had given: was very informative! Followed up with the class even when we had break out groups; made sure everyone's questions were answered and made great timing with the 3 day course! Outstanding Job!!

Rachel did an awesome job of making the class accessible to people logistically (short days, able to eat at our desks) and making it a safe and effective learning space. She did a great job of getting people to engage and participate in a way that didn’t feel like pulling teeth (like other online classes I’ve taken).

I really appreciated the hours of this course, that it was 4 days, 11 am to 4:30 EST. Anything longer than that in one day is exhausting to be on camera. It also allowed me to get a little work done on the side before/after class, which makes it easier to take this course while performing other duties.

After working with Rachel for years in the enzyme/food manufacturing business, she is highly qualified for this subject. She truly cares about food safety and dedicated a large portion of her work career to food safety, processing and microbiology and protecting the companies she worked for in FDA matters.

The instructor did a great job of spreading out the participation of all individuals in class. She coordinated the necessary participation from relevant individuals and juggled the addition of stories well. I think Rachel did a great job! You managed everyone well and had a great overall observance of the room.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know each of us a little bit and I look forward to any other communication in the future. I appreciate everything you do to grow our knowledge in the industry.

Thank you for conducting the course. It's one of the best workshops I have attended so far. There's plenty of instructor attention and opportunities for participation and exchanges.

The most valuable part was interacting with the instructor so that I and other course participants could ask questions. All of the back and forth conversation was very helpful in learning the material.
