Industry training solutions for the food and primary industries

Having well-trained staff who are motivated and fully equipped to perform their roles, can be a game-changer for any business. A team who understand the pricinples of HACCP(external link) , food safety(external link) or the prevention of food fraud are more confident in their day-to-day responsibilities. This confidence will provide peace of mind for a manager or owner, and allow more time to focus on other important aspects of their business.

We are an internationally recognised Private Training Establishment (PTE) holding a Category 1 status with the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA)(external link) . This means that we monitor the changing regulations and reflect the latest industry trends and standards in our courses. As a vocational education provider we issue certificates pertaining to safe methods of food production. 

All courses cover the latest changes happening in each industry. For example, new requirements under the Food Control Plan 2014, the inclusion of new allergens, food hygiene best practices, etc. We deliver training courses nationwide. We can also customise training to specific requirements and deliver this at your location. Many of our trainers are practicing industry professionals. Their hands-on experience allows them to use real-life examples which makes the courses more engaging, relatable and effective.
