Preventive Controls for Human Food – Blended Course

Preventive Controls for Human Food

Blended Course - FSPCA Curriculum

Are the 2.5 day workshops too long to be away from your work? Get your PCQI (Preventive Controls Qualified Individual) certificate by completing our Preventive Controls for Human Food - Blended Course; A self-paced online training (Part 1) and a 1 Day instructor-led training (Part 2).

With the implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), FDA now requires that certain activities must be completed by a “preventive controls qualified individual” or PCQI who has “successfully completed training in the development and application of risk-based preventive controls”. Attendees who take this training will learn the skills necessary to be considered a “preventive controls qualified individual” or PCQI.

Take the online course at your convenience (estimated time is 8-12 hours) and schedule the instructor-led course with us at one of our public blended courses or have us bring the training to your facility. Just be sure to complete the online course before the first day of the instructor-led course as you will need to present your enrollment ticket from the online course (Part 1) at the beginning of the instructor-led course (Part 2) in order to complete your training and get the FSPCA certificate.
