A private, fully customized introduction to IFS Food, delivered 1-on-1 around your schedule. You finish understanding how IFS Food is structured and how its certification works, ready to move into implementation or your first audit.
The Certified IFS Food Foundations course gives you a working command of the European retailer standard for food manufacturers, a GFSI-benchmarked scheme: the IFS Food requirement chapters, the KO requirements, and the scoring system. It is delivered 1-on-1, in English, and customized to your site and sector.
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.
Six modules, taught live and 1-on-1 in the order below. Every module is worked through on your own site, products and markets, so the examples are yours from the first session.
The standard owner, the product scopes, GFSI recognition and the retailers who ask for it.
The six chapters, the IFS doctrine and how to read the wording of a requirement.
A, B, C and D scores, the 10 KO requirements, major deviations and how the final percentage is worked out.
Announced and unannounced options, the audit plan, the report, the action plan and the IFS database.
HACCP, hygiene, traceability, allergens, food fraud and food defence as IFS Food audits them.
A readiness check of your own site, with a plain list of first steps before an audit.
We ask what you make and who your customers are before we start. Every example is drawn from your products and your lines, and you leave with a plain list of what to do before your first audit.

On completion you receive a TrustBite-recognised Certified IFS Food Foundations certificate with a unique verification ID, and you are listed in the TrustBite registry of certified professionals. 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 certificate is valid for 3 years. After that it can be renewed by completing a short online refresher quiz for €50, and the updated certificate is issued automatically and your registry listing is kept current.
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.
