Objective

One regulation requirement of the new Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is the development of a food safety plan for facilities required to conduct a hazard analysis and implement preventive controls. Development and implementation of the plan must be done under the supervision of a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI).This 20-hour training course, following the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA) standardized curriculum recognized by the FDA, is taught by certified lead instructors. Individuals successfully completing the course will receive an official certificate from FSPCA.

Important Scheduling Note

Participants must be present for the entire 20-hour training course to earn a certificate. If you are unable to attend the entire training, please contact Marissa Cohen to make arrangements to make up any missed materials, if possible.

Registration

Registration will be available through May 5 and will be limited to 25 participants. Participants will be placed in available seats on a first-come, first-served basis.

If the course is full and you wish to be placed on a waiting list, please email Marissa Cohen, as additional seats may be made available depending on demand. Also, if you are unable to secure a seat or this offering does not fit into your schedule, but would like to confirm your interest in attending a potential second offering of the course, please contact Marissa as well.
