• Plan an audit based on a set of audit criteria
• Successfully conduct an audit of the food safety management system

The course makes extensive use of participatory learning methods, employing a series of exercises and workshops, discussions, debates and role plays to achieve its objectives. The practical exercises are based on a case study of a company. However, the procedures, work instructions and data are generic and can apply to many other companies. The practical exercises have been carefully designed to focus on issues commonly encountered in FSMS audits.
