Feedback from former students about the IFS+BRCGS Expert Auditor Course

Ricardo Anguita

Food safety professional

My opinion about the course is undoubtedly positive. The course is complete and with the appropriate duration, oriented to professionals in the sector, but the structuring of the agenda makes it accessible to people with different previous knowledge.
Although it is an online course you have to work it, since the exams demanded a good knowledge of the contents.
If there are courses that seem interesting to me by your platform I will not hesitate to repeat with you, to see if I am already working in a good place.

Isabel Truque

Food Quality and Safety Manager

About the course, my opinion is positive; I think it is very complete, adequate length and realistic and interesting case studies. Regarding the online platform, it works very well and it is easy to work on it.
As I am working daily with this type of standards I have had no problems or doubts to consult with the tutor, who I know has been available at all times.

Diego Rial Huerta

Agronomist Engineer. Specialist in Agricultural Industries

I liked the course and I recommend it to all my colleagues and professionals in the sector.
What I liked the most were the practical exercises, I see them very well focused.
I will count on you and I hope you will keep me informed of future training activities.

Delia Asensio Saguillo

Agricultural Engineer. Specialist in Agropeacuaria Exploitations.

This is the first contact I have had with BRC and IFS.
I am an Agricultural Engineer specializing in farming, and the subject of the industry is a little "different" to what I have handled.
I have been an internal GLOBALG.A.P. auditor/inspector since last year and I wanted to start with BRC and IFS. The topics, the way they are approached, and above all the exercises that were presented and solved seemed very good. since last year and I wanted to start with BRC and IFS.

Thank you for your kindness and attention, and I will continue to count on your company in future occasions.

Graduate in Chemical Sciences

The overall opinion of the course is very good. Thanks to this course I have more clear how to prioritize and with examples, I have the vision of an auditor (or as close as possible, because I'm missing a lot). What I miss is a module/something about how to pass both audits at the same time, how to audit at the same time with the two reference standards, equivalences, something like that.
Of course I will continue to follow your course offerings because I am satisfied.

Susana Loygorri

Professional in the food sector

I liked the course very much, because of the explanations of the rules and the examples; however, it was sometimes complicated to solve the evaluation exercises; perhaps it would be positive that after solving them they give an explanation of why the questions are correct or incorrect, since sometimes I was left with doubts.
The experience has been very positive.
Response from the course coordinator: Thank you for your comment, Susana. The activities that are corrected by the tutors include your comments. If there are any doubts about the answers to the self-correcting questionnaires, the best thing to do is to contact the tutor, who will be happy to clarify any questions.

Monica Fernandez

Food technology. Consulting and internal auditing.

I really liked the course, I found it very practical with the examples. Especially for me that I have no work experience in food safety and that's why I was interested in taking the course. The exams seemed very rigorous in some cases, in which I did not fully agree with the answers (especially in IFS, which was worse for me). My overall impression was very good, as you say it took some effort, but I am satisfied with the result obtained.

José Antonio de La Vega García

Veterinarian. Responsible for Quality in the Food Industry

I found the course very good. I had previously taken other HACCP and internal auditor courses with other companies, but this one is much more practical. You can tell that the person who has prepared it has a lot of experience, because in most cases it goes to the point, and not so much to theoretical issues.
As a result of this pleasant experience we have decided to have ACERTA as a certifier for our company.
I have to finish by thanking Susana for her kindness and maximum availability, always attentive to manage any questions. I recommend it!

María Ángeles Chacón Moya

Degree in Food Science and Technology. Quality Consultant

When I decided to start the course I doubted if it would really be what I was looking for, because there is a lot on offer and, the truth is, you never know if you are going to be taken for a ride.
Already when I started with the first HACCP modules I realized that the information was very good and very well structured. But the really good ones are the IFS and BRC ones. The documentation is excellent and the case studies have really helped me to understand the two standards well, and to apply the new knowledge to my work as a consultant. I really congratulate you for this course and I hope you have a lot of success.

Ana María García Ortuño

Quality Systems Management Department

My assessment is very positive. I think the course is very complete, the amount of audit scenes and their evaluation makes it very easy to understand and solve each point of the standards.
On the other hand, I have seen on the web that you also offer a Master together with the University of León and some of the modules of the master are common with the contents of the course. In the case of wanting to do the Master, would these modules be validated with those of the BRC/IFS expert course?

Amanda Mateu Ramirez

Winemaker

Thank you very much to the team, especially Susana. Thank you for your attention, understanding, dedication, efficiency, speed in your answers... and solutions!

Daniel Fernández Cifuentes

Occupational Risk Prevention Technician

I liked the course very much. I think it is extensive and very complete, and has many examples of each of the situations, so the content is very clear. It is true that the activities are sometimes complex, which I also consider a good point because it forces you to understand and study well all the agenda.
Today I am in a company in the sector, I hope to be able to apply all the knowledge learned in the day to day.
