BRCGS Food Safety Issue 9: Lead Auditor Training
Within this 5-day course, participants are taught the protocol and requirements of Issue 9 of the Standard, and how to implement this in-depth knowledge to achieve an effective audit.
The competency gained trough this course will allow participants to assess compliance to the requirements of the Standard, including fundamental clauses, statements of intent, how to undertake a BRCGS audit, planning of the audit and reporting of the audit. In addition to what is offered in the 3 day BRCGS Issue 9: Auditor Training course, participants will discuss auditing fundamentals and techniques including those required of GFSI scheme auditors.
Critical thinking is encouraged at QMS Audits, which is why our courses utilise active, case study-based activities with real world examples. This helps participants understand how to audit against the Issue 9 standard.
Participants must have a working knowledge of quality management systems and auditing within the relevant manufacturing sector, and have completed a hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) course of at least two days’ duration.
In preparation for the course, participants must read and review a copy of the Standard including the glossary, which is available as a free download from the BRCGS Store, in addition to the pre-course materials provided.
