Course Review
Attended the advanced HACCP course. This is a really well run course and covers everything at a good pace. Ray’s presentation style and material knowledge is fantastic and even with a wide range of industries present he is able to talk about specific examples for everyone. There is a balance of training and working in break off groups to be sure everyone understands the material and will be able to implement when returning to work. If you need an advanced HACCP course for yourself or your team this is an excellent option.
