Overview
This five-day in-depth course will provide an understanding of the Standard in terms of the protocol, requirements, and how to audit effectively.

Delegates will gain an in-depth guide to the requirements of the Standard, and learn how to undertake a BRCGS audit, including effective planning, conducting and reporting of the audit. Auditing techniques will be practiced and developed, to include the auditor competency skills required of Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) scheme auditors.

Delegates must have prior working knowledge of quality management systems and auditing within the relevant manufacturing sector, and also have completed a hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) course of at least two days duration.

Successful completion of this course, including the exam, forms part of the training necessary to become a BRCGS auditor. The steps necessary to complete your training must be arranged with a BRCGS approved certification body.

Before the course, you must have read and reviewed a copy of the Standard which is available free of charge from the BRCGS Bookshop. At the end of the course you will be assessed with an exam. This course is part of the BRCGS Professional recognition programme.
