Training

FSC is the only M&S approved training provider against the M&S Hygiene Code of Practice and provides 5 day and 3 day residential courses based out of London and Globally (Italy, Germany, Canada, Thailand, Africa).

FSC delivers a range of its own tailor made courses that meet your specific priorities and business needs. Our experience shows that generic courses fail to identify and address the fundamental issues on food manufacturing sites and we believe that it is essential to understand and apply real world solutions to individual site requirements.

FSC courses are tailored to your specific needs by ensuring our training staff are fully briefed in advance and have gathered real world examples from your factory to illustrate and support the training material. The following 1 Day on-site training courses are offered based on this principle: 

• Prevention of Metal Contamination
• Packaging Verification Procedures
• Allergen Management (M&S approved course)
• Water Risk Assessment
• Internal Auditing
• Pest Control
• Foreign Body Control
• Factory Cleaning Standards
