If you need to be PCQI-certified, taking this course online from FIC is a great way to complete that training. I didn’t have much experience with FSMA or preventive control management, and the instructors made it much easier to understand that I thought possible. They used real-world examples, clear explanations, and detailed company examples and exercises. I found the sample hazard analysis and company ‘example’ documentation especially helpful, because that’s not something that you can go look up online anywhere.
It gave me a lot of resources so that I can prepare my own forms in the future, which I consider invaluable. FIC provides a comprehensive course that I would recommend to anyone who is new to FSMA or needs PCQI certification.

I went into the PCQI training as my first experience in a Webinar format. Surprisingly, not only was the course more affordable and cost effective then traveling to and from a seminar, the experience turned out to be outstanding.
Sonia is wonderful at giving the presentation making sure to answer any questions with her extensive background in developing food safety plans. You can see in both Sonia, and her teaching assistant Bita, a passion in what they present in the course, and the responsibility they show in stressing throughout how important the position of a PCQI is and the consequences of not understanding this course. I would highly recommend to any company looking to train their employees in food safety.

FIC FSPCA course was taught in a very professional but hospitable manner. Examples, questions, and interaction were facilitated very well with a seamless learning process.
The instructors are content masters who gave us, as students and fellow professionals, confidence in what we learned. The course left us with tools and commitment to exceed the PQCI requirements and responsibilities.

FIC provided the classroom environment that facilitated learning without the inconvenience of actually having to go to a class. I was able to complete the PCQI training without having to pay for travel and a hotel. I am currently using what I learned in the course to implement the food safety plan at Quattro Citrus Products in Largo, Florida. I would recommend this course to anyone wishing to create a food safety system.

The instructors delivered the course information using an interactive approach, providing both real life examples, modeling, group and individual exercises. During the course overview, each made reference to relevant resources and continued reading that would help to further our understanding. I found them to be both genuinely interested in each of the class attendees, our experiences and needs to ensure we were able to successful complete the requirements.

Thorough explanations, easy to follow along instruction, the ability to complete online as opposed to travelling was super convenient and cost effective. Sonia has the expertise and just the right demeanour to train on such an important topic. I felt there was just enough interaction to move the class along. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I would encourage anyone who needs this certification to take the class.
