BRC Global Standards has launched BRC Global Standards Professional, an academic recognition programme for technical and quality staff in the food, packaging, storage, distribution, retail or consumer products industries who wish to become recognised as a qualified expert on product safety management practices, using the BRC Global Standards as a foundation. Successful individuals working in product safety management will be recognised as an expert on the BRC Global Standard relevant to their site’s scope of certification.

Designed to enable individuals to tailor their own learning requirements, the programme is open to all professionals working in manufacturing and supply chains, and is especially useful for technical and quality staff involved in implementing product safety management systems. Individuals can register on BRC’s online learning platform, BRC Educate, before choosing the courses they need to complete the programme. Courses will be advertised on the BRC Global Standards website, and will be run by both the BRC Academy and BRC Approved Training Partners. In addition, BRC Professional delegates will benefit from regular updates, select-access webinars – where they can raise questions directly to the BRC Global Standards Managers – as well as exclusive discounts on BRC Global Standards events and BRC Participate.
