Advanced Diploma Program in FSSC 22000
What challenge does this diploma program address?
The food industry faces increasingly demanding standards: GFSI schemes such as FSSC 22000 are virtually mandatory for exporting to international markets. However, most professionals and companies are unfamiliar with the scheme’s detailed structure, its additional requirements (food fraud, food defense, and food safety culture), and how to integrate them effectively into their operations. Failed audits result in multimillion-dollar costs and lost markets.
If you are a quality professional, internal auditor, consultant, or plant manager, you know that implementing FSSC 22000 goes beyond documentation. This diploma program gives you a strategic and operational command of the FSSC 22000 scheme to lead successful implementations and prepare your organization for certification.
What will you achieve by the end of the program?
Upon completing the program, you will become the specialist the global food industry needs: able to implement an FSSC 22000 system from the ground up, lead risk-based internal audits, manage VACCP and TACCP programs, measure food safety culture, and successfully prepare your organization for certification. Your expertise will be key to accessing international markets and reducing operational risks.
