The trainer is very knowledgeable and the training is tailored to the audience.
The training is thought provoking and incredibly well built.
In the current era, I must say, I found the best remote classroom setup.
Smooth, engaging, well supported.
I’d recommend any professionals working in the food safety industry to book your training today.

Ray Haddad
I am the Trainer & Managing Director at Food Surety Limited. I have worked in the food industry in quality assurance roles, auditing, consulting, training, instructional design, workplace assessment and as an advisor in international food safety projects. This varied experience has given me a depth of understanding of the needs and the pain points among the different parties in the food industry.

Since 2007, I've had a proven track record conducting hundreds of audits including external 3rd party certification audits as an auditor/verifier recognised by the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI). In addition, I have trained thousands of food professionals from government agencies, NGOs, academia and businesses across the whole supply chain from farm to fork and across the different sectors,  not only in New Zealand but in Southeast Asia and Middle East.

I am driven by food professionals' experiences of light bulb moments and breakthroughs in their thinking. I enjoy supporting them protecting food for all.

The why of BRCGS Risk Assessment training!
BRCGS Risk Assessment training equips food professionals with the knowledge and practical skills they need to keep consumers safe, protect brand reputation, and meet evolving global food safety standard requirements.

Risk assessment under BRCGS isn’t just a “box-ticking” exercise—it helps you see vulnerabilities before they lead to costly issues or recalls. By understanding how hazards emerge and how to manage them, you build a proactive safety culture that underpins trust with both regulators and customers.

Ultimately, BRCGS Risk Assessment training instills confidence that your products meet the highest standards of safety, quality, and compliance

Food Safety culture online training course
Are virtual classroom online courses as good!
Here is an example of a google review to share with you:
 "The course that I participated in was meant to be in person however like a lot of things lately had to be changed to a virtual Training course.

Ray (Course facilitator) was easily the most competent and engaged facilitator that I have seen on not only Zoom but Food Safety. The course meet all expectations and it had a decent assessment at the end of it (harder than normal but enjoyed it) Ray even gave his time to discuss the assessment and was very receptive to feedback.

I didn't know Food Surety before today and now I wont forget them." Matt Bowker
