Hi,
Can anyone guide me as to where i can get online training on HACCP, ISO or BRC standards.

I am located in kuwait, most of the companies here wish to have the BRC standards.

thanks

Can you be more specific with your requirements Dedi? For example is the training for:

- understanding systems from a management point of view
- understanding systems from an employee awareness
- to implement a system
- to become an auditor
- or something completely different

Help us and we'll try to help you Dedi.

Regards,
Simon

Dear Dedi,

And, particularly if it's implementation of HACCP, do you have a specific product / process type in mind ? The basic conceptual approach for different products will be similar but there is specific website help for some items (eg seafood) which people here may be able to recommend.
Some (many) recognised packages are also not free. Is "freeware" a criterion also ?

Sorry if i was not specific.
also pardon my ignorance on this matter.

Since i am new to HACCP, an introductory course
Followed by a course on implementation, is what im looking for

I offer consultancy for setting up food testing labs, providing equipment and training.
I would like to know how Quality testing will work in a HACCP environment?

thanks


PS. Glad that there is a forum like this, thanks for the prompt reply

Dear Dedi,

I would like to know how Quality testing will work in a HACCP environment?

Not quite sure exactly what you mean by this although any "quality" measurements will inevitably be focused on safety related parameters since that is how current HACCP systems work. The specific parameters will depend on yr system.

Three popular IT dwl resources for HACCP self-education are here -

http://seafoodhaccp....anuals_pdf.html

and http://www.fao.org/d...00.htm#Contents

and http://www.fao.org/D...00.htm#Contents

The first two are oriented towards seafood but the principles are general, the last one is a Codex-related presentation.

There is also a lot of HACCP info on the saferpak site and dwlable materials via the "document exchange" forum here.

I also suggest you consider investing in a local consultancy course to see the scope (and the competition ) etc. Presumably you will need some certification credentials to launch a professional service ?.

PS - sorry, forgot about yr query BRC, ISO. The difficulty here is that the text standards which detail the basic requirements are only available by purchase unless you have a kind friend (or library access for ISO materials).
