This 5-day in-depth training course will provide an understanding of the Standard in terms of the protocol, requirements and how to audit effectively.
Delegates will also gain an in-depth guide to the requirements of the standard, and learn how to undertake a BRCGS audit, including effective planning, conducting and reporting of the audit. Auditing techniques will be practiced and developed, to include the auditor competency skills required of GFSI scheme auditors. Delegates must have a prior working knowledge of quality management systems and auditing within the relevant manufacturing sector, and have completed a HACCP course of at least 2 days duration (see also our Level 3 and Level 4 HACCP & Food Safety courses, both of which meet this requirement).
Successful completion of this course, including the exam, forms part of the training necessary to become a BRC Global Standards auditor. The steps necessary to complete your training must be arranged with a BRC Global Standards-approved certification body.
This course is part of the BRC Global Standards Professional recognition programme.
EXAM Revision: STC has developed additional revision materials for our attendees. However, it can also be very helpful to complete the 25 question Sites training exam, for revision and exam practice purposes. The exam can be purchased here, as an add on to your Auditor course.

Very easy going approachable person, who explains the details behind the requirements clearly and easy to understand using situational based examples etc.
Very helpful and supportive to let attendee understand the content of the course. She took time to give additional explanation if I had any questions.
Cathy is engaging, enthusiastic and made quite dry material fun, which kept me energised throughout.
Superb online course for Food Safety training. Great communication, well-organised and very clear slides/handouts. Cathy delivered the course in an interesting way and was more than happy to answer questions. A very open, honest approach with realistic expectations of all participants. THANK YOU!!
I can honestly say that this is by far one of the best training companies, Cathy is one of the trainers, and they way that she teaches is a trait that is not matched by many people that I know (I have worked in the education industry!), Cathy easily translated examples into her own experiences, which was so helpful (sometimes more that the course info) as this helped understand the morality and behaviour in scenarios. as a whole if you want good quality training, good back and fourth communication and want to pass a course with confidence, this is the company to do it with, I will for sure, be going back for more courses!
