Workshop Overview

⚠️ Food safety risks = consumer illness and deaths
Auditing helps reduce and manage these risks

This course will:

  • Equip you with strong auditing skills that add real value to your organisation

  • Prepare you for internal audits and certification audits

  • Act as a professional qualification if you want to become a third-party auditor

📘 We start with the Standards:

  • ISO 22000

  • ISO/TS 22002-1

You’ll learn how to:

  • Use these requirements as audit criteria

  • Check if criteria are being met

  • Identify risks in the business

Learning is made fun & practical

At Progress Excellence, we do training a little differently. Whether it’s food safety, quality, health and safety, environmental, or laboratory systems – we make sure it’s practical, relevant, and easy to put into action.

  • We use real, sector-specific examples so the content actually makes sense in your world. Our sessions are interactive and hands-on, with activities that help turn theory into something you can apply straight away.

  • Plus, we share ready-to-use templates and implementation plans to make your job easier. Our goal? To give you the skills and confidence to not just understand the requirements, but to actually apply them and improve your systems in a meaningful way.
