Verner Wheelock adds extra auditing training courses

UK training company Verner Wheelock has added extra auditing courses this year in response to an increasing demand for auditing training.

The company will now offer back-to-back Lead Auditor training courses throughout October 2017 at its facilities in North Yorkshire, or in-house at customers’ own premises.

As of January, Verner Wheelock has trained approximately 200 people on its auditing skills, supplier auditing and lead auditor courses; all participants who took the FDQ-certificated examination achieved a pass rate or higher.

Alison Wheelock, managing director, says, “It’s really fantastic to have a 100% pass rate for auditing courses. 40% of delegates have achieved a pass with distinction, which means they have achieved a mark of 95% or more. The delegates now have the skills to perform their own audits effectively and with confidence, as well as being prepared for any third-party audit.”

“I really think the fact that all our auditing tutors are also active auditors within the food industry makes a big difference to the overall experience. It’s the same with all our other courses such as HACCP and Food Safety – all our tutors have practical hands-on industry experience.”

The next open auditing courses take place on 6-7 September (Auditing Skills), 8 September (Supplier Auditing) and 2-5 October (Lead Auditor).
