    Pamela, I can't seem to get the message to the group- can you pass it on ?
    Thanks

    Dear listservers,
                    I would just like to let everyone know about a new course
    developed in Australia on behalf of AQIS- Aust Quarantine Inspection
    Service. It is called " Food Safety Requirements for the Australian Export
    Seafood Industry." It is not called a HACCP course because we don't cover
    all aspects of HACCP just:

    seafood hazard identification
    risk analysis- inc a prac in an export processing plant
    Critical control points
    Critical limits
    monitoring
    verification and validation

    The course has been designed for the AQIS seafood inspectors, but AQIS are
    letting a limited number of industry people on the course. AQIS at this
    stage are organising who comes on what courses. The course are being
    delivered in Brisbane at The Centre for Food Technology. The pre- requistes
    for the course are:

    * Successfully completed grade 10 (or equivalent) science (biology &
    chemistry).
    * Currently working in the export seafood industry
    * Successfully completed a HACCP course

    The dates for the next course are : June 21/22/23, August 2/3/4. It is
    expected that there will be more dates pending demand.

    This course is designed to meet the Australian FPA requirements not the US
    requirements, but it is pretty tough to pass and it will give anyone a very
    good grounding in the tricker aspects of HACCP implementation & auditing.

    Contact myself if you are at all interested.
