How to Prepare a CAPA Plan with the SQF Practitioner Training Program: Corrective and Preventative Actions (CAPA) Course

Train and Gain the Ability to Proactively Assess and Address Situations

Corrective actions are those actions taken to eliminate non-conformances, deviations or other undesirable situations that have already occurred. Preventative actions are those actions taken to prevent potential non-conformances, deviations or other undesirable situations.

As a food safety professional, you understand that at times corrective actions are an essential part of your site’s HACCP plan used when addressing critical limits that your site does not meet that can lead to product recalls, customer complaints, or non-conforming products. Corrective and preventative actions, also known as CAPA, support the continuous improvement of your site’s entire SQF System. In our series of self-paced, online courses, we cover this topic in our new training called SQF Implementing: Corrective and Preventative Actions. 

To give you a better understanding of what it takes to develop a CAPA plan, we’ve pulled together a new online course called SQF Implementing: Corrective and Preventative Actions, which provides the knowledge and tools to help you get into the CAPA mindset, so you can effectively assess and address situations that require corrective action.

Offered in both English and Spanish, this course is part of a series of self-paced online trainings and exams designed to help you understand the SQF Code Edition 9 and prepare for a successful SQF certification.
