	"The service that has been provided has been exceptional. Shane takes a great deal of time to understand his clients needs, and align the course content with the needs and wants of the company he is training within. Shane brings a great deal of knowledge to the training table. This translates into quality content which is well received by the participants. His enthusiastic approach ensures that everyone is well engaged and gets the most out of what he is covering. Shane has been one of the easiest facilitators I have ever worked with. Organising quality training, that was purpose built for our company, was a breeze".

	"We asked Shane to develop a food safety training program specific to the unique needs of our facility. He did a great job and staff provided excellent feedback about the course. Most importantly and because the training was tailored, retention by staff of critical requirements was high ensuring we got a positive result all round from the course"

	"Shane clearly exceeded our expectations for a two-day HACCP training course. He spent enough time studying our selected product and the manufacturing process and came extremely well prepared for the training. His presentation was very engaging and thought provoking and we definitely benefited from this training course. I will keep Shane’s number on a speed dial now!"

AFS Training Services

As a food business operator you recognise the need for ongoing training of your staff. Training is critical in helping you to successfully maintain your food safety management programmes, and in enabling your staff to develop their capabilities.

While attending a public course is of value, a better learning experience is likely to occur when training is focused on what actually happens in the place where people work.

So all our food safety related courses are fully customised to your business. We focus on your products and processes, and your FCP/RMP or National Programme requirements. Depending on your needs, your course might take from just 2 hours or take several days. Your course can be tailored to fit in with your production schedule.

Training is typically conducted on-site at your premises, or at a venue of your choice.

	"Shane Hopgood of Assured Food Safety Ltd was contracted by Mayceys Confectionery to develop a customized Food Safety training course for their staff. Shanes brief was to keep it simple yet detailed and focused on the Mayceys production environment. Shane delivered on all aspects with staff praising how the course was presented and made them understand clearly what was expected and why. Staff were talking about the course for weeks after which made it clear to management it was totally worthwhile. Mayceys would have no hesitation using Shane's services again for future training and refresher courses".

	"Shane came to us highly recommended, and certainly didn’t disappoint. Shane presented an internal auditing course to the QC team at Premier Beehive. The aim was to upskill the team, and get them to better understand the HACCP and RMP programme, its function, and how to audit it to an appropriate standard. The upfront work allowed the course material to be uniquely tailored to the site and to the level of the team. The ongoing benefit, is that the training has provided the team with additional confidence in going about their daily tasks, and a deeper knowledge of the expectations of the programme. The two day course was factual, informative and enjoyable".
