ISO 22000 Training Common Questions

For a company that's already certified, could your ISO 22000 Foundation Training serve as a sort of refresher course?

Yes, especially if you've been certified for a while and are worried that:

  • Bad practices might be creeping into the workplace. This can and does happen in some organizations. A quick, highly-focused training course can help iron out bad habits.
  • Staff might be losing sight of ISO 22000's goals and benefits. This too can happen in some organizations, particularly larger ones. Brief refresher training can help staff to see organizational processes and procedures through a clearer lens, and better understand the benefits the Food Safety Management System brings.
  • Staff need to refocus on the concept of continuous improvement.

Overall, our ISO 22000 Foundation Training course is a popular, flexible option that can be taken both before and after certification.

We're a very small company and I'll be managing both the ISO implementation and most of the auditing. What course is best for me?

Definitely consider the ISO 22000 Auditor Training course. While it's geared specifically to the needs of internal auditors, it also covers implementation strategies and the steps necessary to set up a Food Safety Management System.

Remember too that you can buy without risk. If you're not satisfied with the course within 30 days of purchase, simply apply for a full refund. Note that refunds can only be given if the course hasn't been completed.

Does your ISO 22000 Lead Auditor Training cover all topics included in the "standard" auditor course?

Yes, which makes it an extremely versatile course and one to consider for all company-appointed auditors if your organization is in the early stages of its implementation and isn't sure which auditor will be assigned the lead auditor role.

In the above scenario, ISO 22000 Lead Auditor Training can also be thought of as "insurance" against the possibility of an appointed lead auditor declining the role or performing less well than expected.

We recently passed our ISO 22000 certification audit. What's the best way to show and promote the certificate?

For starters, the International Organization for Standardization makes it clear that companies wishing to show and promote their certification must use a logo issued by their registrar. In all likelihood, this will be a slightly customized version of the official ISO logo.

Once you have the correct logo, it's usually best to show it on business cards, letterheads, and your website. Integrate it into brochures and newsletters, company signage, and any promotional or advertising campaigns. Take pride in showing it off, but don't overdo it or use it at the expense of other company achievements.

How long is ISO 22000 certification valid for?

Three years. After that, companies are required to undergo annual surveillance audits to make sure their Management Systems still comply with the ISO 22000 standard's requirements.

United Nations Global Goals

In 2015, the United Nations introduced 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Becoming an expert in ISO 22000 empowers you to contribute directly to this global mission.

The skills you gain from our ISO 22000 training will allow you to help organizations make a tangible impact:

Goal 2: Zero Hunger – A robust Food Safety Management System is essential for securing the food supply chain, reducing food loss from contamination, and ensuring the food that is produced is safe to eat.

Goal 3: Good Health & Well-Being – Preventing foodborne illnesses and ensuring safe food directly protects public health and saves lives.

Goal 12: Responsible Consumption & Production – FSMS minimizes food waste by preventing safety-related spoilage and promotes sustainable management of resources throughout the food chain.
