It is a strong first step for sites considering certification and for staff who need general awareness of the scheme.
What is the difference between the introduction and implementation packaging courses?
The introduction course focuses on awareness of the basic FSSC 22000 Version 7 requirements for packaging. The implementation course teaches you to actually build, document and run a fully functional FSMS based on ISO 22000:2018, ISO/TS 22002-4 PRPs and the FSSC additional requirements, and to prepare for the certification audit. Many teams take the introduction first.
