Description
The course aims to teach students how to create, develop and maintain a documented systems. It has been developed by myself and from scratch. As a food safety auditor and consultant in the Agriculture industry, I have seen a lot of systems which does not comply with the basic rules of document control. The need for a course which contained the basic concept of document control was apparent and thus this course was created. The course is setup in a way that is easy to understand and can be used by anyone whether you have never worked with documents in the past or even if you have a great system in place but would like to improve it even further.
The course start with a briefing on when documents are required. This is followed by an explanation of the different documents that are used in a system. The course then turns to the control of documents within the system. This is done by identification of documents, compiling a scheduling system and a guide on how to review documents. The course also have resources like a Document Control procedure, examples of schedules, an index and a document control record, a guidebook of the course itself, as well as easy to use decision tree system on how to decide which document to create and how to decide if a document is actually needed.

With a love for nature, I have decided to study Agriculture proudly completing my degree in 2009 within South African borders. I was fortunate enough to have a rich career with many different aspects. Starting out on a horse farm, working in a citrus packhouse, assisting a company's farms and packhouses to comply with food safety as well as ethical standards, being part of the production process of farming lettuce, being a compliance manager for an exporting company and eventually now being a food safety auditor. With a curious mind, I have not stayed within the borders of what I have learned or worked with and have taken every possible opportunity to improve myself even further even if those aspects of learning were not part of my everyday life. I have found that assisting people in understanding even just one aspect of a subject can assist them in improving themselves and their systems and give them the opportunity again to teach the next person. The beauty of life is the extreme vastness of the world. There is opportunity for everyone - live and let live.
