About this training…
This training is the food industry’s most up-to-date version, of the old-fashioned Basic Food Hygiene course.
This level 2 food safety and GMP for Manufacturing food packaging is unlike generic Level 2 courses. This training is tailored to packaging production and also includes topics such as culture, product defence and authenticity.
In this training course, we will take you on a virtual tour of Package Me Up! Ltd, who make a range of clever packaging products.
You’ll arrive at site as a new employee and will be sent by security to reception to sign in, before you complete your induction with Barbara. You’ll meet the friendly site team, starting with Karmen who’ll take you on a tour of the external areas, before you enter the staff entrance and look around the facilities. When you’ve got changed and entered the factory you’ll follow the process; looking at how materials are received and prepared for production. Your visit will take you through the processing and printing areas with Ali, Aaliyah and Ben. You’ll pop into the washroom to see Steph and then head into the packing area to meet Maryam to learn all about the packaging, labelling and sealing processes. Finally, Terry and Ste will show you around the warehouse and dispatch area.
As you move around the site, you’ll learn about food safety and GMP relevant to the production of packaging, such as glass control, print control and much, much more!
We cover the topics you need...
Our training covers all the specific topics your operatives need to understand.
Functional integrity
Packaging plays an important role food safety. This means that packaging with specific functionality, must do exactly what it should. In the course, we explain this and provide examples to bring it to life. For example, explaining how film used for modified atmosphere packing must meet specification and the implications to the finished product and the consumer, if it doesn’t.
How poor printing can cause food safety problems
Where printing isn’t correct, this can have many implications including food safety issues from allergen labelling. The course explains this in detail and how print controls are used to ensure that the right print is used.
Right product, right pack – how it applies to packaging too
Food manufacturing sites have to control the product and the packaging, to make sure that they get the right product in the right pack – because if they don’t it could cause allergen issues. This impacts packaging production sites too. For example, a if a printed plastic pot gets mixed up with another run, this means that the site will fill that pot with the wrong product – as it shouldn’t be there. This is explained, so that the operator knows how important it is to clear the line from previous packaging, before they start a new run.

Mr Kevin T Mullins (verified owner) –
Our Trainee was very happy with the format and content of the course and he found it straightforward to navigate and complete
James Hunston (verified owner) –
I found the course great. It is explained, demonstrated and interactive at each stage and pitched to reach every level within the team. I have had positive feedback from all our members of staff.
Easy to access the certificates if needed and recognised by the BRCGS auditors.
The Techni-k team are always on hand to help with any issues that come about.
Great course and great service.

Though we are a supplier of secondary corrugated packaging which is non-food contact and having the BRCGS storage and distribution standard, some of the modules were not always relevant but the training gives a wider understanding of what is required and the team found it very useful, informative and easy to navigate. Another excellent training module from the team at Techni-K.

Thanks Rowan for your valued comments about the training.
Natasha Noble –
This was an amazing course!
Over the last few years I have done several different food hygiene courses, trying to find the best one to suit, the company’s needs that I work for.
Not only was this very informative for the industry I work in, but also kept the colleagues interested with such a unique style of training.
Most courses are directed at food handling companies, so this was a very nice change to learn from the side of Packaging Manufacturing.
Will definitely look in to other courses for myself and our colleagues to take part in.
Mel Allen –
Thank you Natasha, we really wanted to produce the product safety and GMP training for producers of food packaging, as the requirements in terms of training are just as important for compliance to those who are part of the food-related standards. Our compliance mini training is all compliant to the packaging standards as well – so you can be assured that your needs will be met in other topics of training we offer too.

I have searched high & low for training specific to the packaging industry. We are a flexible film convertor, so much of the generic food safety related training on the market is a challenge for many of our operatives. Temperature control, metal detection, sieving/filtering etc. are heavily covered in existing training and is not at all relevant to what we do. You are, I believe, the first organisation to generate something of this nature specific to the packaging industry (Food Safety & GMP for Manufacturing of Food Packaging). For this I would very much like to say THANK YOU!! You have made my life so much easier.
Liviu-Gabriel Ilie –
I have completed many online courses previously and none of them were so well organised as the one from Techni-k. I had to complete a HACCP lvl 2 and normally i am getting bored but this one kept me engaged the whole time.
Well done to you !
John Hill –
What fantastic training! The attention to detail was brilliant and really well though out for learners of all levels. It ticked all of my HACCP team boxes and more and really covered all elements of our understanding in thorough detail. The discussions and support with you was also really personal and very appreciated. Really happy we found you guys… We will be back for more!! Thank you…

In the end, I see that your training is quite effective. Being completely candid, at the beginning of the tutorial, the way it is set-up as me being a new employee at a food manufacturing facility and the related clicks for information and dialogue, along with the additional activities (clicking on the door to open, clicking on the hose to connect, etc.), I will say I found a bit corny. 🙂 But I see that that style of interactive learning, no matter how simple, is actually quite legitimate. It keeps one engaged, the information sinks in and, it actually makes the time pass so you stay engaged ! I have completed so many of these trainings and they are usually incredibly boring…
So, three cheers that you’ve developed something unique and constructive !
