Certified FSSC 22000 Foundations

A private, fully customized introduction to FSSC 22000, delivered 1-on-1 around your schedule. You finish understanding how FSSC 22000 is structured and how its certification works, ready to move into implementation or your first audit.

The Certified FSSC 22000 Foundations course gives you a working command of a GFSI-benchmarked food safety system certification scheme built on ISO 22000: the ISO 22000 management system, the ISO/TS 22002 prerequisite programs, and the FSSC Additional Requirements. It is delivered 1-on-1, in English, and customized to your site and sector.

What You Will Be Able to Do

Listed in the TrustBite registry on completion

Every trainee who completes the course is added to the TrustBite registry of certified professionals, a public directory employers, auditors, and project leads use to verify credentials and find qualified people. The certificate keeps working for you after the course ends.

The registry is a public directory that employers, auditors, and project leads use to verify credentials and find qualified people, so the certificate keeps working for you after the course ends.

    The course runs over 1 to 2 weeks of private 1-on-1 sessions, scheduled around your working hours so it fits around production and audit activity instead of interrupting it.
