Academy

A broad and practical range

At our Academy, we provide various training courses focused on legislation, quality systems, certification schemes and risk management. But the range is even broader. Take for example our training courses which focus on sustainability, safe transport and non-GM products. Our courses, such as the training for Code 95 drivers, are set up practically. That way, participants learn to put into practice immediately the knowledge they have gained.

Animal feed legislation: the basics
Learn the basics for every feed company with Schouten Advies. In half a day, you’ll receive the information about animal feed legislation you need.
GMO-controlled VLOG and GMP+ MI 5.4 for Purchasers and Quality Assurance Officers
Demand from retailers for GMO-controlled products is increasing. Because of this, livestock farmers increasingly ask their feed suppliers for guarantees that their feed is free of GMO’s. The German Verband Lebensmittel ohne Gentechnik (VLOG) has created a standard for the food and feed sector. GMP+ International has decided to work with VLOG to meet the demand of GMO-free products. To achieve this, GMP+ International has developed the ’GMP MI105 GMO-controlled’ standard. During this workshop, we will dive into VLOG and GMP+ MI105 and their consequences.
Feed Risk Management Training
For many compound feed producers, performing a risk analysis or making a risk management plan seems like a daunting task. The aim of this seminar is to give the attendees enough knowledge to create, implement and maintain an HACCP plan for a production process. In this course, we combine theory with practical exercises and a trip to a factory. Participants will receive a certificate as proof of their participation.
Training early warning & recall
Guaranteed traceability of products and raw materials are both legally required and a condition for GMP+ certification. The preparation and maintenance of an operational recall procedure is often an obligation.
Training intake of raw materials/ingredients
Good control when taking in animal feed products can prevent a lot of misery. But what is a good check and what should you pay attention to?
Labelling premixtures and feed additives
Labelling of feed products is complex matter. With this course we explain the practical application of the labelling rules for premixtures and additives. The basis for this course is the European Regulation No. 1831/2003. In addition, other legislation and regulations that will include rules with regard to the labelling of animal feed will also be considered.
Labelling compound feed and feed materials
Labelling of animal feed products is complex and versatile matter. With this course, we explain the practical application of the labelling rules for compound feed and feed materials. The basis for this course is the European Regulation No. 767/2009. In addition, other legislation and regulations that will include rules with regard to the labelling of animal feed will also be considered.
Labelling and claims food
Food labelling is a complex and versatile matter. With this training, we explain the practical application of the labelling rules. The use of claims is also treated. The inclusion of correct and complete information on food packaging has become increasingly important in recent years. Wrong labels regularly cause recalls or fines.
GMO-Controlled from the Factory Floor VLOG, GMP+ MI5.4, and GMP+ TS 1.6 Sampling
In this course, two topics are discussed that can play an important role in the daily work of production employees. Afterwards, participants receive a certificate as proof of participation in the course.
Training Raw materials for animal food
Calamities in the animal feed sector are often caused by contaminants in raw materials. Knowledge of raw materials and insight into production processes and the regulations surrounding these products are of vital importance for the animal feed sector.
