We focus on delivering thermal processing and process control courses that cater to your team's specific needs, whether that involves mastering the technology you employ or aligning training with your operational priorities. By working with process and thermal processing experts, we ensure that all our training is a balanced blend of classroom theory and hands-on practical work, guaranteeing that participants understand not only the “why” but also the “how” of their roles.
We offer two core training pathways within our programme: Thermal Processing Pathway and Process Control Pathway. Each pathway provides foundation, intermediate and advanced levels of training to effectively develop skills across various roles in food manufacturing.
The courses are heavily focuses on ensuring the practical understanding and application of the theory. All courses have some form of work-based project work which needs to be completed. We also offer bolt on options that continues to remotely support the delegates for up to three months after the course has been completed.
The Thermal Processing Pathway is designed to equip participants with the essential knowledge and skills required for effective thermal processing in food production. Our courses delve into the principles and practical application of thermal processing, ensuring that your team is prepared for the challenges of the industry.
