This qualification is ideal for supervisors, managers, and team leaders who have been, or will be, made responsible for monitoring and verifying standards within their organisation. It is highly beneficial for anyone who wishes to carry out effective audits and inspections in food safety (or other compliance areas like health and safety). It teaches the systematic process of auditing, planning, conducting checks, gathering objective evidence, and writing reports to drive continuous improvement, making it a critical skill for maintaining a robust Food Safety Management System (FSMS).

This course will equip you with both theoretical and practical skills to manage an inspection system. You'll learn about the legal and technical responsibilities for managing workplace inspections, how to plan and prepare for effective audits, techniques for conducting inspections and gathering reliable evidence, and how to write clear, concise, and objective audit reports with effective corrective actions.

The Level 3 Audit and Inspection course is delivered through virtual learning sessions, providing flexibility in studying the theoretical components. It is assessed by a multiple-choice examination taken online under remote invigilation, requiring a PC/Laptop with a camera and a secure testing environment to ensure the integrity of the qualification.
