Online Preventive Controls for Dairy Processors Training

The purpose of this online course is to assist artisan and farmstead dairy processors in developing their food safety plans and equip them with the basic knowledge for developing a Preventive Controls Food Safety Plan. The course includes 12 interactive learning modules, quizzes, assignments, and discussion forums, which will practice applying the concepts. Students will also get one-on-one support writing their Preventive Controls Food Safety Plan, so they can feel confident their plan is correct.

The course takes about 20 hours to complete and is self-paced, which means you may begin, pause, continue, and finish the course at whatever pace suits your needs. (The course will remember where you left off.) Upon successful completion of the course you will earn your Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI) certification.

The North Carolina Dairy Foundation funded the development of this course.
