About FTAA
The Food Technology Association of Australia (FTAA) is a major food industry body for companies involved with the food industry in Australia. The organisation dates back to 1949 and it has made significant contributions to food regulation and technical issues in the food industry since that time. FTAA has provided training courses for the food industry for the last twenty years and is now responding to the changing needs of industry by creating a product development workshop designed especially for technical and development staff in the Australian Food Industry.
Purpose of the Workshop
This year's workshop will include interactive discussion sessions covering modern product innovation and development protocols. The number of companies obtaining a wide range of certifications and the increase in supermarket branded products have changed the face of product development to include a wide range of compliance requirements. Delegates will have the opportunity of interacting with expert speakers during the days’ proceedings. This workshop is organised by FTAA in conjunction with Advancing Food Safety Pty Ltd.

HACCP Update | $495 | 20 April 2010 | Hobart
Please note this is an update only. You will need to provide evidence of a two or three day HACCP course with an RTO or TPECS HACCP course provider since 2003.
The basic aim of the course is to refresh the understanding of the seven principles of HACCP, and how those principles are applied to the development of a HACCP plan. This course meets Coles HACCP course refresher training.
 

Principles & Applications of HACCP for Produce | $880 | 21-22 April 2010 | Hobart

Gain a practical understanding of what HACCP is, and how to develop and implement food safety systems specifically for the produce industry. Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) is the universally accepted tool used to identify and prevent food safety hazards, and many food safety standards now require HACCP team leaders and members to be able to demonstrate competence in the application of HACCP principles. This two-day course is hands-on and aimed at giving participants an in-depth knowledge of the principles of HACCP and how to apply them to a produce business.

Group Training - at your workplace
If you have a team of staff within your facility in need of training, you can save time and money by having a training course delivered at your site. Providing training internally ensures that all staff are consistently trained in the skills they need, at the level they need. It has the added advantage that training can be tailored to your business or industry, using examples that directly relate to your operation. All of our courses are available for delivery at your workplace. We also offer HACCP Validation & Verification (1 day), GMP for Shop-Floor Staff (half day) and Food Safety for Engineering and Maintenance Staff (half day).
