Food Innovation, Product Development & Compliance Workshop | 26 May 2010 | Sydney - Courtyard by Marriott, Parramatta
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.
New Course
 
Implementing Effective Foreign Body Controls | $385 | 15 June 2010 | Sydney

Upcoming Courses
 
Food Safety QA Management | $880 | 4-5 May 2010 | Sydney
This course is intended for Quality Assurance Management personnel specialising in food safety. It relates to those persons who have been appointed to manage a food safety based quality assurance program, who have no prior management skills, or for those persons wishing to gain professional development skills to enable them to move into a quality assurance management role. The course focuses on management outcomes. The skills and knowledge for Quality Assurance and/or Quality Management roles do not differ greatly between industries, however this course is focused specifically on food safety based Standards. Ideally participants will need to provide evidence of attendance at a formal recognised two or three day HACCP course and attendance at an Internal Auditor Course (preferably food safety focused).
 
WQA and HACCP | $990 | 5-7 May 2010 | Sydney
A must for Woolworths Trade Partners.
The Woolworths Quality Assurance Standard (WQA) requires that at least one person employed by the trade partner must have attended formal HACCP training. This course has now been upgraded to provide an in-depth understanding of HACCP Principles and their applications within WQA trade partner sites. It also covers all other the requirements of the newly launched version 6 of WQA and is aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the additional requirements.
 
Food Legislation and Labelling | $825 | 6-7 May 2010 | Sydney
This course is aimed at managers who are responsible for meeting regulatory requirements and for auditors, to gain knowledge of food regulations in Australia. All Food Safety Quality Assurance Standards require that legislation must be met. Do you know the legislation?
 
Principles and Applications of HACCP for Produce | $880 | 18-19 May 2010 | Sydney
A HACCP course specifically for produce suppliers.
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.
 
Allergen Mangement for Food Manufacturers | $440 | 31 May 2010 | Sydney
This course is designed to provide information on food allergies and intolerances and how they can be managed in a food manufacturing context. It also guides the student through the use of the VITAL Tool for identification of appropriate allergen precautionary labeling.
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).
