Food Safety - Western Cape
We are more than satisfied with the above training course that Entecom provided to 10 of our personnel in March this year. In particular, we were impressed by the way that you customized the material so that it would be applicable to the oyster processing sector, and in particular to our company’s operations. Use of photos from our factory really drove home many important points to the staff, and the improvement in their general motivation and commitment to food safety since their course with you has been noticeable. Your approachable and friendly style of giving instruction, and your willingness to work with us to adapt your course material, exceeded our expectations.

A second aspect of your service that impressed us is the way that you have drawn our attention to opportunities for both recovery of the training levies we pay to AgriSETA, and to other sources of funding for ongoing staff training. This has been of great value to us: we have already recouped the cost of the training and this enables us to develop the skills base of our staff without compromising our competitiveness – a very important consideration for us.

Third, you were very willing to offer helpful advice about food safety to us on our premises and operations – this advice has been most useful to us in improving these aspects of our business. All in all, we are very appreciative of your high degree of professionalism, combined with your accessibility and attention to detail. We look forward to an ongoing interaction with Entecom as weimprove our operations and develop our business. Antonio Tonin (MD) & Sue Jackson (Food Safety Offocer), Saldanha Bay Oyster Companir (March 2013)

"We have worked with Janice & her Entecom team from as far back as 2004, and have always found them to be extremely professional, knowledgable & willing to assist wherever needed.
Janice consulted with us on our journey to achieving ISO 22000 certification in 2007, & we found her teaching methods to be practical & easy to understand. Aside from the consultation, we have used Entecom for many food safety related training courses & workshops, & have never been disappointed. Where she doesn’t conduct the training herself, Janice invites well qualified staff & guest lecturers to conduct it for Entecom.
On a more personal level, Janice is always willing to take a frantic phone call, & is generous in sharing the benefit of her wealth of experience in food safety related standards & other matters.

"This course has really been a “ eye opener” for me In so many different ways, I thought I washed my hands properly but was now taught through this course that I actually didn’t and I can only imagine how much bacteria was on my hands every single day before this course , thank you for teaching me to wash my hands I have not only opened my eyes at work but at home as well and have taught my kids that there are so many micro biological organisms around. I have learnt the importance of creating awareness and also that it is my responsibility to ensure that CCP’s are monitored and how important CCP’s actually are and what can happen if they were not in place.  I have learnt that is its critical to identify anything that has the potential to cause harm ,I have learnt that Pests need to be controlled and monitored and the correct way in which to control and monitor , this course has been an absolute breath of fresh air for me and I would strongly recommend this course." - Linda Bender, Training Co-ordinator, Snackworks
