About

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 how to prepare a defensible report. A brief overview of investigations and sampling techniques is covered.

A computer with a video camera is required for participation.

*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.
