Course Overview
This course is suitable for anyone involved in the audit process at any level. In order to guarantee and demonstrate that products offered for sale are safe to eat and of the specified quality, the modern food industry relies on a wide variety of systems, standards, and procedures. A common element demanded in the application of these is the requirement to audit and challenge them to ensure adequate application or proper corrective action. Auditing is therefore an important skill that needs to be trained and explained.
