Join our team of students and become the best in your profession to ensure food safety from primary production"

The Postgraduate diploma in Management and Assessment of Processes in the Food Sector of TECH Global University is the most complete among those offered in universities at this time because it is aimed at the comprehensive management of animal food safety.  

Specifically, this training program develops the most important concepts of hazard, risk and safety as applied to the food industry, as well as the most commonly used methods for the control of these hazards, including allergens. It addresses the principles of safety assurance management in the food production industry, using the HACCP plan as a model, its prerequisites, the stages for its implementation and the verification of its efficiency. 
It also reviews the general principles of a certification process in an international context, covering aspects such as documentation management, electronic records, audits and other requirements necessary for a successful certification. 

Another of the strong points of this training is that the fundamental aspects that confirm that the critical control points are effective and are ensuring the safety of the food produced are reviewed, being clear about the need and correct formulation of the critical control points. In addition, it shows the tools needed to validate the controls in place, verify the effectiveness of these controls and have the confidence to implement sound control processes within the food safety management system. 

The teachers of this Postgraduate diploma are university professors and professionals from various disciplines in primary production, the use of analytical and instrumental techniques for quality control, the prevention of accidental and intentional contamination and fraud, food safety/food integrity and traceability (food defence and food fraud/food authenticity). They are experts in food legislation and regulations on quality and safety, validation of methodologies and processes, digitalization of quality management, research and development of new foods and finally, the coordination and execution of R&D&I projects. All this is necessary to achieve a complete and specialized training, highly demanded by professionals in the food sector. 

It is an educational project committed to training high quality professionals. A program designed by professionals specialized in each specific subject who face new challenges every day.
