Internal Auditing for Food Processors – Live Online

Live Online

Internal Audits are a requirement of all GFSI approved certification schemes (e.g. SQF, BRC, FSSC 22000, etc.) and many 3rd party audit programs. Internal audits allow you to audit your facility for gaps and compliance. They are an important tool in the ongoing food safety toolbox for any food manufacturer, packager, and warehouse and distribution company.

This course will provide you with the knowledge and skills required to conduct an internal audit program within your company. The course covers the fundamentals of auditing, useful industry-proven techniques, compliance criteria, how to foster good communication within the facility, the importance of auditor ethics, and gathering objective evidence, nonconformities, and reporting suggestions. This course is for those who are new to internal auditing and those that could use a refresher course.

Implementing Safe Quality Foods (SQF) Systems w Dr. Janna Hamlett – Live or Online – Nov 9-10, 2023

Live Online +1 more

The first step in achieving and maintaining SQF Certification is to understand the SQF Food Safety Code for Manufacturing. This class is designed to fulfill the training requirements to prepare individuals to take the SQF Practitioner test. All SQF certified sites must have at least two SQF Practitioners overseeing the SQF Food Safety System. However, industry best practice is to have several Practitioners to ensure management commitment and coverage of the entire SQF System. This hands-on workshop uses the official SQF training material but adds real-life practical advice to fulfill requirements of the code. Students will get a manual with the slides, a practice test, and an attendance certificate with the SQF Institute logo, our logo and license number. This course is recommended for sites seeking certification, maintaining certification or anyone interested in learning more about the SQF program and certification. To attend the training students must have had previous HACCP training approved by International HACCP Alliance or equivalent.
