Certification of Worker Skills

Proving your expertise and enhancing your skills. It starts here.

Certification of Worker Skills

As part of the FPSC’s Professionalizing the Industry initiative a feasibility study on the certification of people in the industry was completed. This study clearly identifies that industry will benefit from having certifications and that the uptake would be significant.
We also understand from our own experiences that professional designations demonstrate proven expertise and experience of an individual. And for that individual, a professional designation provides a career boost and the confidence to succeed. Check out our courses at FoodCert and the process to certifying your skills.
