Knowledge, skills and more

We know that it’s not easy to stay on top of evolving European legislation and best practices in your field, as well as your day job as a busy professional in one of the many areas related to safer food. Our targeted and intensive BTSF training sessions are designed with just that in mind, making sure you get the knowledge and skills that you need for your own professional development.

 

15 years of industry-leading trainings

Over 15 years of delivering BTSF activities on behalf of the European Commission we have developed a tried and tested methodology for effective and enriching safer food training sessions. And our long experience also means flexibility, as we’re well used to switching things up to best suit the topic of any particular training. Not to forget our recent success in pivoting to online trainings during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

 

Learn from top professionals in your field

Our years of experience in delivering safer food trainings has also allowed us to build a comprehensive network of Europe’s top experts across food and feed law, animal health, animal welfare, and plant health. And with our experienced in-house team of event managers there to make sure that everything goes smoothly, you and your tutors can fully concentrate on getting the most out of the training session.

 

Get to know your Colleagues

We’re committed with providing you with the best technical know-how, but our training sessions are also an unmissable networking opportunity. With that in mind, we make sure to include opportunities to get to know your international colleagues in a more relaxed setting. That’s why our trainings include fun social activities that will help you build relationships and continue sharing professional tips long into the future.
