Course Description

Overview

Risks related to food safety management lead to consumer illness and deaths. Auditing is aimed at reducing and managing these risks. This course is aimed to equip delegates with in-depth auditing skills that will add value to the organisation, whether it is through internal audits, or through certification audits. This course is a professional qualification for those who wish to pursue a career as a third-party auditor.

The course starts with calibration of knowledge of the requirements of the Standards (ISO 22000, FSSC 22000 additional requirements and ISO/TS 22002-1). These requirements are used as audit criteria and explores methods to evaluate whether audit criteria have been met to identify risks in the business.

Progress Excellence Approach

  • Every aspect of the audit process is simulated by using examples as well as practical activities, role plays and case studies to reinforce concepts.
  • Unpacking ISO 22000:2018 and FSSC 22000 additional requirements and ISO 19011:2018 from an auditor’s perspective.
  • The material was developed to incorporate the requirements of ISO/TS 22002-1 in support of the ISO 22000 PRP requirements.
  • Discover and explore the traits, behaviour and personal skills of an auditor and the audit methods by means of roleplay, discussions and self-reflection.
  • Read more on how to become a lead auditor (link this to the blog on lead auditor)

NOTE: Delegates will be required to do daily after-hours homework activities of 1 – 2 hours per evening.
