Are you looking to become a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI)?
Completing our course is one way to achieve that goal. Developed by the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA), this course is the standardized curriculum recognized by FDA.
Regulations for the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP), hazard analysis, and risk-based preventive controls permit only a PCQI to perform certain activities. So if you are looking for a career in safe manufacturing, processing, packing, and holding of food products, consider PCQI training today.
Successful completion of FSPCA Preventive Controls for Human Food requires attendance at all sessions. Upon completion of this course you will obtain your PCQI certificate.
We also offer this course online! We have regular online courses each month. Both the three day PCHF course and the PCHF Part 2, one-day course are available. If you would like to take part 2, please make sure you take the asynchronous part 1 course before taking part 2. Registrations for our 8 hour course are found on the PCQI part 2 , 8 hour course page.
