This course includes, as an additional bonus, a half day of training on the integration of HACCP for FSMA compliance. You will learn to understand FSMA preventive controls and reconcile the differences in your HACCP plan, enabling you to transition to an audit-ready food safety plan.

After taking this course, you’ll understand more about:

  • Creating a food safety plan (Hazard Analysis and Risk-based Preventive Controls [HARPC] plan)
  • Validating preventive controls
  • Reviewing records for implementation and effectiveness
  • Reviewing corrective actions
  • Performing required reanalysis

Upon completing the course, you will be able to print a copy of the FSPCA certificate, which will be provided to you to demonstrate that you have completed the FDA-recognized PCQI training course.

Much More Confident

The training was a great introduction to the role of a PCQI. After this training I am much more confident in starting to tackle more complex and involved food safety activities.
