COURSE OVERVIEW
BRCGS Food Safety Issue 9 Sites Training Overview
This BRCGS Food Safety Issue 9 Sites Training course gives participants a practical understanding of the general principles and requirements of the Standard. It is designed to help food businesses and site teams implement the BRCGS Food Safety Standard effectively, strengthen site compliance, and prepare more confidently for certification.
During the course, participants will discuss the activities that support a strong culture of compliance and learn what to expect throughout the certification audit process, including the actions needed before, during, and after the audit.
The training uses active learning and case study-based exercises to encourage critical thinking and show how sites can apply the Standard in practice.
As part of the course preparation, participants are required to read and review a copy of the BRCGS Standard, including the glossary, available as a free download from the BRCGS Store, along with the pre-course materials provided. A working knowledge of HACCP is recommended.
Participants are assessed by exam at the end of the course. This course forms part of the BRCGS Professional recognition programme.
