IFS trainings in the UK
Dear Sir or Madam,
Just a quick reminder that places are limited on the next IFS Academy course in the UK – “Good Auditing Practice from the IFS Perspective” being run in Manchester on 19 and 20 May, so email to ifs-academy@ofasolutions.co.uk to reserve your place.
To optimize the support for our customers the IFS Academy will offer a variety of international training opportunities centred on the IFS standards.
World-class trainers, often co-developers of the IFS standards, convey their expertise to quality managers, auditors and consultants from the food industry.
The limited number of participants per course allows the trainers to teach the right application of the standards efficiently. With the help of integrated case study work, the course participants gain valuable information about the appropriate implementation of the standards. Thereby the participant directly benefits by being able to transfer the newly gained knowledge into practice.
Additionally, the IFS Academy provides eLearning tools and specialised webinars.
More information can be acquired on the IFS website www.ifs-certification.com under “Training”. There you will also find our online registration form and the latest information about IFS trainings.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to an IFS Academy training and wish you good luck for your next IFS audit!
Kind regards,
Nina Lehmann
