The Certification Company Q-CERT is organizing a 2-day training program on the BRCGS standard – version 9, on the 10th and 11th of April 2025.

Version 9 of the BRCGS standard was announced on August 1, 2022, and its implementation has been mandatory since February 1, 2023.

The training program is approved by BRCGS, and the training material has been issued and certified by the same organization.

Program Description

The training program enables participants to develop a thorough understanding of the general principles of the Standard’s requirements. It is designed to equip participants with the knowledge of how to successfully implement the Standard’s requirements on site. Participants will discuss activities that develop a culture of maintaining compliance and learn what to expect during the certification process, including actions required before, during, and after the audit.

Active learning will be used throughout the course, using case study-based activities (scenarios) to encourage critical thinking and explain how businesses will implement the Standard.

In preparation for the training program, participants should study:

  • the requirements of the Standard, including the glossary. The Standard is available free of charge from the BRCGS store and you can access it by clicking here.
  • the provided materials that will be sent before the course.

Who is it for?

The training program is aimed at

  • executives and members of companies involved in the implementation of food safety management systems and are interested in implementing the BRCGS standard.
  • consultants involved in the development and implementation of hygiene and safety studies in food businesses.
