Quick answer: ASC Food Safety Training enrols whole food safety teams in its online food fraud (VACCP) and food defence (TACCP) courses. You get one company invoice and a manager dashboard that tracks every learner’s progress, and each learner receives a QR-verifiable certificate. ASC is a FoodBev SETA accredited provider (587/00337/1900) and SAATCA registered training provider (TC 065), and has trained more than 8 000 learners.
Why train the team, not just one coordinator
Food fraud and food defence plans fail when they live in one person’s head. Auditors interview the people who run the controls: the buyer who approves suppliers, the supervisor on the open line, the person at the gate. If only the coordinator is trained, the plan is exposed every time that person is on leave or moves on.
Training the team gives you:
- Assessments built with the right people in the room, which auditors expect
- Controls that are understood and followed on the floor
- A training record for each person, which is the evidence of competence that FSSC 22000 Version 7 and GFSI 2024 ask for
