CERTIFICATE IN PACKAGINGThe Certificate in Packaging is designed to meet the training needs of a wide variety of people involved in packaging, from the new entrant to the industry who wants the best possible preparation for a career in the industry, to design, production, management, sales and marketing or purchasing staff who need to deepen their understanding of this vital and complex discipline.The Certificate in Packaging provides a level of insight and understanding of the packaging industry that adds real and measurable value to careers and businesses. Packaging is a fundamental part of modern business, and the Certificate in Packaging provides a ‘detailed overview’ of packaging processes that broadens knowledge and adds value to a business. Students to the Certificate in Packaging come to the course from a variety of areas. They may already be established in packaging as a buyer, marketer, production manager or sales person, now looking to expand their knowledge and deepen their understanding of the packaging environment. They might be embarking on a career within the industry and looking for the training that will provide them with a solid bed of information that they can build on. “I would thoroughly recommend this course to anybody who works in the food industry – Technical, NPD, Buying, Engineering, Commercial – each function within the business is affected by packaging decisions and as such knowledge in this field enables not only the individual but also the company to be credible with both customers and suppliers, increase production efficiencies, generate cost savings and deliver the required goods profitably”. Heather Burns, Account Manager – Morrisons/Waitrose, Thomas Food Partnership “Participation on the course has enabled me to appreciate why we do things in certain ways on my production line, it has also enabled me to challenge and explore other relevant issues (particularly material quality) - this should give my company benefits justifying their expenditure. I have proved to myself that I can learn new things and I have enjoyed doing so; hopefully this makes me a more “marketable” person within my company and aids job security”. Phil Sherburn, Maintenance Technician, Campbell Grocery Products The full certificate comprises a core unit and 12 options units of which students choose 4 to suit their needs. Assessment is through a
one hour examination for the core unit and a 1,500 word
