BRC Training

About BRC & the BRC Standard

BRC (British Retail Consortium) is the UK's leading retail food safety and quality organization — a UK-wide self-regulatory body established following the UK Government's Food Safety Act 1990 to maintain hygiene standards across UK retailing. All BRC Global Standard certified companies are audited annually to a higher level of scrutiny than the law requires. To become BRC certified, suppliers must satisfy specific performance criteria covering products, processes, and management systems.

The BRC Global Standard for Food Safety (Issue 8) is a step forward in improving food safety management within your business. It is updated in line with new and emerging food safety risks and focuses on the role of the individual in ensuring products are safe, meet defined standards, and comply with regulatory requirements.

Who Should Apply for BRC Training?

Suppliers face many requirements — not only in food preparation but also in storage, equipment, and facility design. Understanding exactly what a customer requires, defining your target and approach, and identifying your selling points all help you prepare before applying for a BRC training course. The course suits in-house personnel responsible for food safety — quality assurance/control, technical and facility managers, purchasing officers, and production supervisors — as well as staff from marketing, accounts, and finance who need to understand the requirement to use BRC-certified suppliers.
