This course, developed by the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance, uses the curriculum recognized by the FDA for Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI) Training. The training is often necessary because only a PCQI can design, implement and maintain a Food Safety Plan.

Taking a Preventive Controls Course benefits you and your company by:
• Obtaining information and credentials for Preventive Controls Qualified Individuals (PCQIs) so they can legally complete activities that must be done only by PCQIs.
• Enabling you to create, implement, or update Food Safety Plans.
• Improving risk management and communication with your suppliers.
• Increasing your confidence in overall food safety management.

Who Should Attend

 • Any individual who will design, update or maintain Food Safety Plans
• Any individual assigned to verify or validate Food Safety Plans.
• Purchasing agents needing to assure the safety of suppliers’ products.
