Certified ISO 22000:2018 FSMS Lead Auditor Course

A Certified ISO 22000:2018 FSMS Lead Auditor Course is a specialised program for internal or external auditors, consultants, and leaders of an organisation looking to audit, lead, or consult on Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS) with a focus on ISO 22000:2018. These kinds of programs were developed to give quality managers, consultants, and Food Safety Officers the knowledge, skills, and abilities related to both internal and external auditing.  

Module 1 provides a basic foundation on FSMS principles, a clause-by-clause interpretation of ISO 22000, and provides ways in which ISO 22000 can be harmonised with other standards such as ISO 9001. 

Module 2 covers the audit lifecycle, including planning, conducting and reporting an audit and following up on corrective actions to ensure that they have been dealt with. 

Delegates will be engaged in meaningful case studies and audit simulations to become competent practitioners of ISO 19011 guidelines and to ensure organisations are compliant with food safety. 

This course also provides a strong foundation for those seeking to develop, or potentially develop, their skills even further into the ISO 22000 Lead Implementer roles or providing a knowledge base to integrate skills with ISO 22301:2019 and ISO 17025. 

SSDN Technologies is proud to provide this ISO 22000 Lead Auditor course as an internationally recognised form of training to meet the needs of the industry. Further, learners have the opportunity to broaden their audit training in the form of AWS Security, Azure Compliance, or AI Training
