Complaint Management & Performance Improvement Training


On-Demand Training Recording — 30-Day Access

Includes the full 4-hour training session, presentation slides, templates, end-of-course test, and a certificate of attendance.

This webinar will enable participants to develop practical knowledge of complaint management. The webinar provides instruction on how to implement a complaint management system, how to investigate complaints, how to collate complaint data and how to analyze complaint data using the complaint trend analysis tools provided to identify areas of concern that need to be addressed and opportunities for improvement.

Instructor: Tony Connor, Chief Technical Advisor, IFSQN
Facilitator: Simon Timperley, Administrator, IFSQN

Cost per attendee: $97.00 USD

Training Course Outline:

Complaint handling is included in Food Safety Management Requirements of the GFSI Guidance Document and as such is a compulsory element of GFSI benchmarked standards including BRC, SQF, IFS and FSSC 22000.

The capture and analysis of complaints is a tool for identifying deficiencies in the effectiveness of your food safety management system. Complaint levels are a key performance indicator and reflect the effectiveness of the food safety management system. Customer complaints can provide an insight into site performance and any areas that may require greater focus.

Effective complaint management requires procedures to ensure that customer complaints are captured, recorded, investigated, responded to, complaint trends are investigated and corrective and/or preventive actions. Actions should be proportionate to the seriousness and frequency of the problems identified and carried out promptly by appropriately trained staff.

In this webinar, we will cover the elements of a complaint management system and show how analysis of complaints can provide useful information to identify and correct non-conformity and demonstrate continuous improvement.

We will show you tried and trusted systems, that have been developed over 25 years, to analyze complaint data to identify food safety issues and adverse trends in complaints. The training includes an Annual Complaint Analyzer which will assist participants in future Complaint Analysis and Complaint Performance Improvement.

There will be practical examples demonstrated and a question and answer session to discuss any difficulties that you may have with complaint management and performance improvement.
The course is suitable for all personnel working in food manufacturing, food handling, food storage or food distribution operations.

Essentials in Petfood Safety


On-Demand Training Recording — 30-Day Access

Includes the full 4-hour training session, presentation slides, and a certificate of attendance.

This interactive online training webinar will enable participants to develop practical knowledge of the principles of establishing and maintaining an effective petfood safety management system. The webinar provides key insights, emphasizing the uniqueness of petfood safety in comparison to food safety.

Instructor: Dr. David Rosenblatt, Director of Learning, Sher Consulting & Training Ltd.
Facilitator: Simon Timperley, CEO, IFSQN

Cost per attendee: $197.00 USD

Training Course Outline:

The petfood industry has seen some devastating petfood safety incidents in recent years and is continuously struggling with recalls and customer complaints.

Most often, decision makers in the field of petfood safety learn the science of risk assessment through human food courses and learning events.

This is often a reasonable solution, however; petfood is not human food and many safety aspects unique to the petfood industry are not adequately covered.

The course is suitable for decision makers in manufacturing of all petfoods, with the exception of raw foods, which will not be covered.

In this course, we will cover the essentials of petfood safety, including unique aspects such as nutritional inadequacy, mycotoxicosis, human pathogens transferred through petfood, etc.

Participants will be able to apply risk based thinking following the principles of HACCP and HARPC and learn from petfood case studies.

All attendees receive:

• Copy of the training material (PDF)
• Personalized IFSQN Training Academy Certificate awarded on successful completion of the course and end test
• 30 day access to the webinar recording

The course is delivered in 6 sections:

  • Introduction to petfood safety
  • Prerequisite programs (PRPs) (GMPs)
  • Identification and evaluation of hazards, including case studies
  • Choosing and classifying control measures
  • The petfood safety plan
  • Online test consisting of 20 multiple choice questions covering the topics taught in the course
List of topics covered:
  • Introduction to petfood safety management systems
  • Resources for establishing PRPs
  • Personal hygiene and zoning
  • Cleaning and maintenance
  • Risk based thinking methodology (HACCP/HARPC)
  • Biological hazards
  • Chemical hazards
  • Nutritional hazards
  • Control measures: CCPs and oPRPs

Essential 22000 HACCP Training Course


The Essential 22000 HACCP Training Course is an INTERMEDIATE LEVEL program covering all the elements of best practices in implementing a HACCP system and is suitable for anyone involved in food manufacturing, storage and/or food distribution operations wishing to comply with ISO 22000 or FSSC 22000 HACCP requirements.

HACCP training needs to ensure that food safety team members have the skills and knowledge to assist in implementing a HACCP system. Training your food safety team in HACCP implementation and best practices is an important step to developing a sound HACCP system. Failing to train your staff properly increases the risk of poor food safety; this can lead to customer dissatisfaction, potentially huge legal costs and the loss of reputation and market share.

This training course can be taken individually and at any time and so you can train staff at a time convenient to both employers and employees. It is in a format that can be taken on a PC and/or a variety of smart devices.

Most businesses need to train staff quickly and do not have the resources to run training courses. As our HACCP course and exam are web based and delivered online, these problems are easily overcome.


For a flavor of the training course watch this short demonstration video.
