1 Day FSPCA Preventive Controls for Human Food (PCQI): Blended Course

The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requires that all companies producing food (not currently under regulatory-required HACCP) have a written Food Safety Plan as well as a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI) to create, implement and oversee that Food Safety Plan. This Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA) Blended Training course was developed to provide an alternative way for individuals to complete the FSPCA Preventive Controls for Human Food course.  This one day, 8 hour course, is Part 2 of the Blended Preventive Controls for Human Food course. Participants must have completed the online, self-paced Part 1 course offered through the FSPCA. Registration for Part 1 can be accessed here. The online course is $198 and you will have 6 months to complete the online course.

This Blended course has two parts. Those who complete the Part 1: Online are eligible to attend this one-day Part 2: Interactive Instructor-Led course. You must complete both parts to receive the FSPCA Certificate of Training which is the FDA-recognized course for training food and beverage industry professionals seeking to become PCQI.
