Build the competence required to successfully design, implement, maintain, audit, and continually improve a Food Safety Management System (FSMS) based on the requirements of FSSC 22000 Version 6, ISO 22000:2018, applicable ISO/TS 22002 Prerequisite Programmes (PRPs), and internationally recognized auditing principles.

The FSSC 22000 Food Safety System Certification Implementation and Internal Auditor Training Course by Olanab Consults is a practical, industry-focused training program designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills required to lead FSSC 22000 implementation projects and conduct effective internal audits across food manufacturing and food supply chain organizations.

This comprehensive training provides participants with an in-depth understanding of the FSSC 22000 certification scheme, food safety hazards, risk assessment methodologies, HACCP implementation, prerequisite programmes, food defense, food fraud prevention, food safety culture, allergen management, traceability systems, and emergency preparedness requirements.

Participants will learn how to establish, document, implement, monitor, and continually improve a robust Food Safety Management System that meets customer, regulatory, and certification body requirements while enhancing operational performance and consumer confidence.

The course also develops internal auditing competence by providing practical guidance on audit planning, audit execution, evidence collection, nonconformity reporting, corrective action verification, and audit reporting in accordance with ISO 19011:2018 Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems.
