Trainer Course Applications: Visit the AFDO website at https://www.afdo.org/training/sha/seafood-haccp-instructor/seafood-haccp-train-the-trainer-course/#apply for an application and process.
Description: The Train-the-Trainer course is a classroom format (2.5 days for HACCP and last 0.5 day for SCP) that focuses on actual training techniques, materials, and requirements for “approved” participants to be recognized as “qualified” SHA instructors. The qualified instructors are then allowed to conduct the standard Seafood HACCP Alliance training for Basic and Segment Two HACCP courses and the accompanying Sanitation Control Procedures Course (SCP) that yield a “certificate of course completion” in accordance with the established protocols maintained and recorded by SHA/AFDO. The TTT course includes instructor manuals, lectures, and group exercises
Audience: These courses are open to regulatory officials, industry employees, academia and international participants.
Pre-Requisites: Applicants MUST have completed the Seafood HACCP Alliance’s Basic HACCP Course* and possess expertise in the area of seafood safety and related food safety controls. The applicants will be screened for experience and training for HACCP and seafood processing, as well as, their intentions, work assignments and/or experience in conducting HACCP training. No Seafood HACCP Alliance’s Basic HACCP Course training will be offered prior to the beginning of the TTT course.
COVID Requirements: CDC recommendations as well as any additional state, local or location requirements at the time of the training will be followed. AFDO will work to ensure social distancing is possible in indoor meeting locations.
Application & Selection Process: Because this course can only accommodate a limited number of students, we will select participants to create a class that is geographically diverse. Preference will be given to applicants with training responsibilities or the potential to instruct future course offerings, as well as students from state agencies.
Selection criteria includes:
• Persons having a background of training and experience in food science, food microbiology and/or food chemistry, sanitation in food processing or related fields.
• Persons with some prior experience and understanding of HACCP systems and/or sanitation in food processing for food safety.
• * Certificate from AFDO indicating completion of the SHA Basic HACCP course either via classroom format or through the internet version, both Segment 1 and 2.
Travel: Participants will be responsible for their own travel arrangements and expenses. Upon selection, participants will be sent a confirmation and provided with additional travel information and direction for required payments.
Cost: There will be a registration fee of $975.00 per participant. This fee will cover the cost of the course, training materials, instructions and trainer certificates. Payment instructions will be provided once an applicant is confirmed for participation.
Trainer Certificates will only be issued to participants that attend all 3-days of the scheduled training (or HACCP Trainer certificates for 2.5 days and SCP Trainer certificates for 0.5 days). If participants miss any of the training, they are not eligible for the AFDO Certificate of Course Attendance.
