Presentation of the project results
Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.
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 have professional knowledge in the application of DIN EN ISO 9001 and in the planning of internal quality audits.
You can also plan and implement quality management systems. You handle measurements, controls and problem solving with confidence and have competent knowledge of strategic management methods.
You are also familiar with the requirements of a GMP system, know which regulations must be applied and can use these for your own problems as well as understand and explain specific technical terms. You are also familiar with the basics of the CAPA system. You are familiar with the potential hazards in the context of food safety and hygiene and are able to carry out hazard analyses safely in order to avoid risks for consumers. You will also be able to create a 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.
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.
Virtual classroom alfaview®
Lessons take place using modern alfaview® video technology - either from the comfort of your own home or at our premises at Bildungszentrum. The entire course can see each other face-to-face via alfaview®, communicate with each other in lip-sync voice quality and work on joint projects. Of course, you can also see and talk to your connected trainers live at any time and you will be taught by your lecturers in real time for the entire duration of the course. The lessons are not e-learning, but real live face-to-face lessons via video technology.
