Specialist Training Courses for the food industry

As food industry experts we have developed a range of courses to provide you with specialist knowledge relevant to your role within the food industry.

Following the publication of the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 8 we are running a number of official BRC Food Safety Issue 7 to 8 Conversion for Sites courses. These examine the changes from BRC Version 7 and provide guidance on implementation to get you ready for your next BRC audit.

A requirement of BRC Issue 8 is Food Defence. Our TACCP and VACCP workshop which focuses on assessing threats, identifying vulnerabilities and implementing controls to minimise intentional contamination, will help you to understand the process.

Our Root Cause Analysis workshop explains the process of identifying the ‘root cause’ of an issue and how to prevent it happening in future. The course enables delegates to use a range of problem-solving techniques that will help them meet the root cause analysis requirements of BRC audits.

Labelling and allergen management are both very topical issues. We can offer bespoke labelling workshops and consultancy to help you update your food labels to meet the latest FIC legislation. Our labelling and Allergens courses can help you comply with the BRC Issue 8 Section 5.

Our specialist course on Creating Thermal Process Flavours (formerly Creating Savoury Flavours) has been running successfully since 2008 and is a highly specialised course for those working with flavourings, seasonings, ready meals and savoury snacks. Our two-day course on Introduction to Flavours is run as an in-house course and can be tailored to your requirements – covering sweet or savoury flavours – or both.

If you need to know more about the SMETA ethical audit process, from start to finish our Ethical Trading Workshop should fit the bill. Learn about the requirements of the ETI Base Code and how to avoid the pitfalls of ethical audits.

We offer a Training the Trainer course leading to the Highfield Level 3 Award in Education and Training for anyone aiming to train others in any subject, but our course will focus mainly on the delivery of food safety training. This 4-day course is ideal for those wishing to become a food safety trainer or to provide accredited internal training to staff to RQF standards, as part of their role.

Alternatively you might prefer our 2-day Delivering Training course. Perfect for those wishing to improve their classroom training skills to deliver pre-prepared course materials, it leads to the Highfield Level 3 Award in Delivering Training.

Our Trainer Skills Refresher is ideal for those who have previously completed a training or teaching qualification. It ensures you are aware of all the latest developments, techniques and equipment.

If you have 5 or more people to train, don’t forget that the majority of our specialist courses can also be run in-house at your own premises.
