How You Study
This two-day course is delivered on-site at the National Centre for Food Manufacturing in Holbeach and can also be delivered on business premises.
The course is delivered through a mixture of workshop-led discussions, practical activities, and presentations. On day two, delegates are required to undertake a live audit (case-study based) where they are expected to apply the skills and techniques acquired on day one. Delegates will be given feedback on how they performed during the case study and how they can improve their techniques.
An understanding and working knowledge of quality management systems within the relevant manufacturing/processing environment would be a distinct advantage, but is not essential.
How you are assessed
Assessment of delegates takes place throughout the course. Delegates will also undertake a work place audit and submit an audit report for assessment.
