Once you have completed the course, you will be able to plan, introduce and maintain a quality management system and monitor its effectiveness. You will also gain professional knowledge in the application of DIN EN ISO 9001 and in the planning of internal quality audits. You will be familiar with the potential hazards in the context of food safety and hygiene and will be able to carry out hazard analyses safely in order to avoid risks for consumers. You will also be able to create an HACCP concept to fulfill the legal requirements for food hygiene and standards.
The course is aimed at hygiene and quality management officers as well as specialists and managers from all areas of the food sector and industry, the convenience and retail trade as well as gastronomy and communal catering.
Every company that handles food commercially must have a concept in accordance with the HACCP standards. This makes people who can create such a concept and ensure its correct implementation interesting for large and medium-sized companies as well as small businesses.
An additional qualification in quality management is in demand from companies of all sizes in industry, trade and the service sector. After the course, you can provide meaningful proof of your new skills with a TÜV Rheinland-certified qualification.
Didactic concept
Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).
You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.

Lessons take place using modern alfaview® video technology - either from the comfort of your own home or at our premises at Bildungszentrum.
