Food Regulation Training Modules
Our Food Regulation training modules - which consist of a series of 4-hour Live Webinars, covering each of the core areas of Food RegulationÌý- are an integral part of our 6-month, in-depth Business Certificate of Competency in Food Regulation (BCCFR) Training Course.
The modules are also now available to book for people not attending the full BCCFR Course (see below).
Sector-based Modular Programme
Each of our Food Regulation modules consists of a Live Online SessionÌý- conducted over 4 hours (plus additional time for breaks and lunch) - with one of our Food RegulationÌýexperts (see our Presenter Profiles). Attendance at a number of these modules (you will be asked to select those most relevant to your career and experience) is an integral part of the BCCFRÌýtraining programme - and is necessary to secure the final certification.
For those not attending the full BCCFRÌýcertification course, these modules are available to book separately or in multiples, with each costing £250 + VAT per module. Discounts are available when booking multiple sessions. For more details, please email our course administration team: [email protected]
