Basic Inspections and Investigations Course for New Manufactured and Retail Regulators

This course provides basic and fundamental learning opportunities for new food regulators who have responsibilities for conducting routine and non-routine inspections, conducting investigations, and collecting product samples for analysis by a laboratory.

This hands-on training will benefit those who have learned from ORA LearnED web-based training courses and will include live activities and exercises in a virtual setting. Topics will include a review of the basics of conducting an inspection including equipment and tools, conducting the opening, and closing interviews, observation skills, and preparing a defensible report.  A brief overview of investigations and sampling techniques is covered.

If your organization would prefer a train-the-trainer level course for this learning opportunity, please contact afdo@afdo.org. If your jurisdiction would like this delivered in person to your organization, that can also be arranged.
