PSA Training Details
Who can attend
Anyone interested in learning about Good Agricultural Practices (GAP's), produce safety, co-management, and the FSMA Produce Safety Rule is invited to participate in a Produce Safety Alliance Grower Training.
If you are a grower and your farm is, or will be, "covered" by the Produce Safety Rule, this course will fulfill the training requirement outlined in Section 122.22(c) of the Produce Safety Rule, which requires that at least one supervisor or responsible party from the farm must complete a farm food safety training equivalent to the standardized curriculum recognized by the FDA.
Training Registration
Course materials will be mailed directly to participants. Pre-registration is required a minimum of three weeks prior to the course (this provides time for shipping of course materials.) On training day, all participants are required to have a printed PSA Training Manual with them. Your manual will be mailed directly to the address you provide during registration. We recommend you provide your home address to ensure your manual can be delivered and received by you. They will not deliver to PO Boxes. If the course manual is returned (deemed undeliverable) or lost after delivery, participants will be responsible for the cost of a replacement manual as well as shipping costs.
Cancellation is free before the registration deadline if requested in writing at bordenhe@msu.edu. The full course fee is nonrefundable if registration is canceled after course training materials are mailed out.
Earning a Certificate of Completion
To receive an AFDO certificate, a participant must be present for the entire training and submit the appropriate paperwork to their trainer at the end of the course. For remote trainings via Zoom, per the Produce Safety Alliance requirements, participants must be engaged in the entire training and have their WebCams on/connected throughout the training.
