Preventive Controls Qualified Individual Blended Training

Host: Amanda J. Kinchla
Date: Monday, September 23, 2024, 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM 

Course Description: The Current Good Manufacturing Practices, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-based Preventive Controls for Human Food regulation (the Preventive Controls for Human Food regulation) ensure safe manufacturing, processing, packing, and holding of food products in the United States. A “preventive controls qualified individual” who has completed training in risk-based preventive controls is required for certain activities. The FSPCA-developed Blended Training course provides an alternative for completing the FSPCA Preventive Controls for Human Food. It consists of two parts: an online portion (Part 1) and an instructor-led, in-person portion (Part 2). Both parts are necessary to obtain the certificate. The online portion emphasizes key concepts from the participant manual, while Part 2 covers all information presented in the traditional three-day FSPCA Preventive Controls for Human Food. Registration for Part 1 of this 2-part course is $208. To complete the course, a participant must be present for the entire workshop and actively participate in all of the presented exercises.
