Become a Certified Cook Chill Auditor Today!
Cook Chill is a process where food is cooked then chilled for storage to be consumed in the future. This process is used in a wide range of settings from airlines to your Ready To Eat (RTE) meals found at your local supermarket. Learn what the regulatory requirements are for short and extended shelf life.
The first two days of this course is delivered as a virtual classroom, followed by one day in Melbourne conducting two skills audits at two different facilities. For an extra fee, you can have one of the skills audits recognised by Exemplar Global, using one of our in-house Skills Auditors. You can expect lots of questions (and banter) from our instructors and fellow students as we promote class discussion from start to end. Its how adults learn!
When combined with our Food Microbiology course, our Cook Chill course will offer 40 hours of Food Microbiology, which will satisfy mandatory requirements to become a state approved or NFSA Level 4 auditor.
