Internal Auditor Course on ISO 22000 - Food Safety Management System

ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System Internal Auditor Training Course

ISO 22000 requires internal audits at planned intervals, and the quality of those audits decides whether food safety hazards are caught inside the organisation or by a customer, a regulator or a recall. The standard sets the requirement; the internal auditor determines whether it means anything.

This two-day course trains process owners and food safety professionals to conduct internal audits of a Food Safety Management System in line with ISO 22000 and the ISO 19011 auditing guidelines. It covers HACCP principles and hazard analysis alongside audit planning, reporting, nonconformity management and corrective action.
