Certified FSMS Internal Auditor

Certified FSMS Internal Auditor

Internal audits create opportunity for food organisations to improve systems, processes, and services. While all audits help a facility to find and correct issues within their Quality Management System, internal auditing has two extra benefits. First, a good internal audit program allows you to find and correct the issue before the external audit and demonstrates the facilities dedication to customer safety. Second, the internal audit verifies continuous improvement and management commitment. When/If non-conformances are discovered during an internal audit, it gives the facility an opportunity to demonstrate continuous improvement of their system by implementing corrective actions. However, it is difficult to perform an exceptional internal audit. An appreciated internal audit requires that the facility be committed to performing the audit well and using the audit findings in a way that improves the production floor and programmes.

This Certification will assess the participants for the knowledge and skills needed to perform internal audits on Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS) and to contribute to their continual improvement. Participants with prior knowledge of food safety management systems will be given preference.The certification is apt for any experienced working professional in the food and healthcare industry looking to audit against food safety management system (FSMS) standards. Food business operators who are looking to implement a food safety management system in their organization, Management representatives, Consultants, Quality directors, or those looking to improve their skill levels and core understanding of Food Safety can also take part and get certified.

The case study based approach in certification programme is designed for working professionals in full time employment who want to update their knowledge and gain required skills and attitude in the area in order to become a Certified FSMS Internal Auditor in the domain.
