Food Safety Training & Workshops

Practical food safety training and workshops for New Zealand food businesses โ€” onsite, online or as an arranged workshop in Auckland or other major New Zealand cities.

Access Food Verification & Auditing Limited provides practical food safety training and workshops for New Zealand food businesses. Training can be tailored to your business type, food safety risks, staff roles, audit requirements and actual site procedures.

Training can be delivered onsite at your business premises, online, or as an arranged workshop in Auckland or other major New Zealand cities where suitable. This gives businesses flexibility to train staff in a way that suits their operation, team size and location.

Who This Service Is For

Training and workshops are suitable for food handlers, supervisors, quality teams, food safety teams and management. We can support businesses in:

  • Food manufacturing
  • Food service
  • Childcare food services
  • Storage and distribution
  • Food importing and exporting
  • Retail food businesses
  • RMP operations
  • Businesses preparing for verification, customer audits or certification audits

Topics Training Can Cover

Training can be arranged on relevant food safety and quality topics your staff need to understand, including:

  • Food safety awareness and hygiene
  • Cleaning and sanitising
  • Temperature control
  • Allergen management
  • HACCP awareness
  • Food safety records and evidence
  • Audit preparation and common audit questions
  • Internal auditing
  • Food labelling awareness
  • RMP / MPI compliance awareness
  • ISO, BRCGS and SQF awareness
  • Corrective actions and root cause analysis
  • Traceability and recall awareness
  • Product handling and contamination prevention

Onsite Training at Your Business

We can come to your site and conduct practical training based on your actual food operation, procedures, records, equipment and food safety risks. Onsite training is useful because staff can learn using real examples from their own workplace โ€” reviewing actual records, discussing site-specific procedures, walking through practical food safety controls and understanding what auditors or verifiers may check.

Onsite training can be especially useful before verification, customer audits, certification audits, or when new procedures have been introduced.

Training in Major New Zealand Cities

Where suitable, training workshops can also be arranged in Auckland or other major New Zealand cities. This may be useful for businesses that want staff from different sites to attend the same session or where a group workshop is more practical than onsite training. Training locations and dates can be arranged based on demand, availability and the topic required.

Customised Training

Training can be tailored to your business type, staff roles, food safety risks, specific procedures, audit requirements and the actual food safety issues your business faces. Generic food safety training may not address the specific practices, records and risks relevant to your operation. Our training is designed to be practical, relevant and easy for staff to understand.

Training Records

Attendance records or training records can be provided to support audit evidence. Maintaining training records is important for demonstrating staff competence during food safety verification, customer audits and certification audits.
