This isn’t a one-day, tick-box compliance course. It’s a complete food safety management foundation — built for the person who has to make food safety work, not just pass an exam.
16 hours of video-based training built around real workplace footage of good and bad practices, a broader food safety standards framework, and a full R638 toolkit containing editable templates — every hour earning its place.
Our SAATCA Accredited R638 Food Safety Practices course for the Person in Charge takes you beyond the regulation itself. You’ll walk away knowing not just what R638 requires, but how to apply it in your own business.
Entecom is ISO 9001 certified — our commitment to delivering training of genuine, audited quality. That commitment is built into this course: we go beyond Regulation 638 to show how it connects to SANS 10049, the GFSI requirements, and ISO 22002 Pre-Requisite Programmes — and how these feed into the globally recognised systems your customers, auditors, or retail buyers may one day require, like FSSC 22000 and BRCGS.
Beyond basic food safety practices, you’ll also cover supplier management, food defence, food fraud, and shelf-life testing — the topics that separate a compliant business from a genuinely well-run one.
