Prospera is hosting a PCQI food safety training in Bozeman June 10–12 for only $125, a significant savings compared to typical costs ($900ish).

This FDA recognized course meets the training requirement for a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual responsible for developing and implementing a facility’s food safety plan. This is a good time to invest in this class—before the special funding that keeps the cost low expires—so companies can train a trusted employee to manage food safety compliance in house rather than relying on expensive consultants.
