COVID-19 Community Standards

Your health and safety is our top priority. We will be following all NC State University COVID-19 guidelines for this in-person course. Face coverings are required – regardless of vaccination status – while indoors in all NC State facilities, unless you are actively eating or drinking while maintaining social distancing.

Objective

One regulation requirement of the new Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is the development of a food safety plan for facilities required to conduct a hazard analysis and implement preventive controls. Development and implementation of the plan must be done under the supervision of a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI).  This 20-hour training course, following the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA) standardized curriculum recognized by the FDA, is taught by certified lead instructors. Individuals successfully completing the course will receive an official certificate from FSPCA.

Important Scheduling Note

 Participants must be present for the entire 20-hour training course to earn a certificate. If you are unable to attend the entire training, please contact Marissa Cohen to make arrangements to make up any missed materials, if possible. marissa_cohen@ncsu.edu [marissa_cohen@ncsu.edu]

Registration will be available through January 26 and will be limited to 25 participants. Participants will be placed in available seats on a first-come, first-served basis.
