During this short, 2-hour course you’ll learn how to implement and conduct an effective internal audit process to ensure your food safety management system is properly implemented and effectively controlling food safety.

Course Overview:

An internal audit is a “proactive” tool for risk management, continuous improvement, and cost containment by identifying “potential problems” before they become a problem. The internal audit is key to assuring compliance with regulations and customer requirements, and helps protects consumers from food safety hazards. This comprehensive internal audit course equips participants with the knowledge and practical skills to effectively plan, conduct, report, and follow up on internal audits of food safety management systems (FSMS). Aligned with international standards such as ISO 22000, ISO 19011, and GFSI-benchmarked schemes (BRCGS, SQF, FSSC 22000), the training emphasizes auditing principles for continuous improvement. Participants will have an understanding of how to assess the effectiveness of food safety programs—not just compliance—by objectively evaluating processes, facilities, environments, Good Manufacturing Practices/prerequisite programs, documentation, and operational controls.

You will learn:

Definition and Structure of an Audit…What is an Audit?

"This course helped me understand CAPA and root cause analysis with new and interesting perspective.

The examples were very well selected to help understand the course. . . ."

- A. H. of ICF Mercantile LLC

"I liked that the examples used in the presentations were actual situations that a 8D or 5P were done."

- J. R. of Neaton Rome, Inc.

"I . . . have received more "chair time" in educational/continuing ed. classes than I care to count. Rarely have I scored a class this high. . . . The instructor was thorough in his explanations and at the same time not too redundant. The visual aids were excellent and the handouts provided will be put to good use at our facility. I was NOT disappointed. Looking forward to future classes from FSQC. . . . "
