About the SQF International Conference
This will be the fifth SQF International Conference and the first outside of North America. The SQF Institute is a Division of the US-based Food Marketing Institute (FMI), and manages the SQF 1000 and SQF 2000 supplier codes. The SQF codes have seen considerable growth internationally over the past twelve months, and this conference will showcase retailers, suppliers and other stakeholders from both sides of the Pacific outlining case studies and developments in the SQF Program.
The 2010 HACCP Conference Awards celebrates 8 years of achievements in food safety. The Annual HACCP Conference Awards provides the food industry with a vehicle to recognise and reward the achievements of those who work tirelessly to ensure the safety of our food supply.

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).
A must for Woolworths Trade Partners.

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.

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.

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.
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.

This is a one-day course aimed at giving a general introduction to food microbiology – the good, the bad and the ugly! The course is designed for those involved in the production of food who, although not microbiologists, need to understand the principles of microbiology with a focus on food safety for effective development and implementation of HACCP or food safety programs or anyone who has an interest in the biological food safety hazards. Demonstrations and practical exercises are included.
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).
