Presentation of the project results
Changes are possible, the course content is updated regularly.
You will also understand the basics of statistics, be able to process and evaluate data and present, explain and interpret statistical data analyses and results using graphics.
You will be able to recognize and assess hazards in the area of food safety and carry out hazard analyses. You will be able to develop, document and monitor an HACCP concept in accordance with legal requirements and thus contribute to ensuring food hygiene and food safety in the company.
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, trade, gastronomy and communal catering.
Users and specialists from social and market research, business administration (marketing, business intelligence), technical areas, production, quality assurance and research in the healthcare sector.
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.
A sound knowledge of statistics is a valuable additional qualification that is in great demand in industrial research and development, in drug development, in the supervision of medical studies, in finance and insurance, in information technology or in public administration.Your meaningful certificate provides a detailed insight into the qualifications you have acquired and improves your career prospects.
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.
The courses at alfatraining are funded by Agentur für Arbeit and are certified in accordance with the AZAV approval regulation. When submitting a Bildungsgutscheinor Aktivierungs- und Vermittlungsgutschein, the entire course costs are usually covered by your funding body.
Funding is also possible via Europäischen Sozialfonds (ESF), Deutsche Rentenversicherung (DRV) or regional funding programs. As a regular soldier, you have the option of attending further training courses via Berufsförderungsdienst (BFD). Companies can also have their employees qualified via funding from Agentur für Arbeit (Qualifizierungschancengesetz).
