About This Course

Duration: 16 hours

Auditing food safety isn't like auditing a typical management system. You're not just checking that procedures exist – you're verifying that HACCP controls are genuinely protecting consumers, that monitoring is happening on the factory floor, and that corrective actions are taken before unsafe product leaves the facility. That takes an auditor who understands both the standard and the realities of food production.

This online Auditor training builds that capability. You'll learn how to interpret ISO 22000:2018 requirements from an auditor's perspective, evaluate HACCP plans, assess prerequisite programs, and document findings that drive genuine food safety improvements. Through a structured curriculum combining theoretical knowledge with practical application, you will develop the competence to audit food safety management systems against ISO 22000:2018 requirements.

The course is delivered entirely online and is self-paced, allowing you to progress through the material according to your own schedule. Upon successful completion, you will receive a certificate documenting your training as an ISO 22000 Auditor.

What Makes an Effective FSMS Internal Auditor

An effective internal auditor does more than check compliance boxes. They help their organization identify improvement opportunities and strengthen the food safety management system. A competent ISO 22000 auditor must be able to:

  • Interpret ISO 22000 requirements in the context of the organization's position in the food chain and its specific food safety hazards
  • Audit HACCP systems – evaluate whether hazard identification is complete, critical control points are properly identified, and monitoring procedures are effective
  • Assess prerequisite programs – verify that cleaning, sanitation, pest control, and supplier controls provide a sound foundation for the HACCP plan
  • Gather objective evidence on the factory floor – observe operations, interview production staff, and review monitoring records to verify that controls work in practice
  • Identify and document nonconformities clearly, and verify that corrective actions address root causes and prevent recurrence

This course develops these capabilities through structured lessons, practical examples, and audit resources you can apply immediately in your organization.

Course Content

The training is organized into eight focused sessions that build your knowledge progressively. Sessions include:

The course is appropriate for those new to auditing as well as experienced professionals seeking to update their knowledge of ISO 22000:2018.
