About This Course
The ISO 22000 Lead Implementer programme gives you the skills to establish, run and continually improve a food safety management system (FSMS) based on ISO 22000. Delivered fully self-paced and online, it brings together HACCP principles and prerequisite programmes (PRPs) within a full management system that spans the food chain.
You’ll learn to conduct hazard analysis, establish control measures and critical control points, manage traceability and emergencies, and apply the PDCA cycle at both the management-system and operational levels — and to prepare the organisation for certification.
