Now that the Golden Globes, the BAFTAs and the Grammy Awards are over, it\u2019s time to announce the winners of some much <\/u>more relevant awards. I\u2019m talking, of course, about the Verner Wheelock Excellence Awards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Launched in 2015, to coincide with our 25th<\/sup>\nanniversary, the Verner Wheelock Excellence Awards<\/a> reward excellence in HACCP,\nFood Safety and Auditing<\/a>. Additionally there are awards for Individual\nExcellence, Company Excellence and, for the first time, this year we have\nintroduced an Ethical Excellence Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awards Criteria <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\n\nFor the HACCP, Auditing and Food Safety Student of the Year awards, our course tutors nominate the delegates that they feel were outstanding in each relevant subject. These students demonstrated an exceptionally high level of competence and understanding during either our Level 4 HACCP, Level 4 Food Safety or Lead Auditor<\/a> training. Moreover, the practical application of the skills they learned will have made a significant impact on their day-to-day operations. Their competence has been reflected in a set of impressive examination results. \n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the winners of Verner Wheelock ‘Students of the Year 2018’ are ….<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
