Food & Drink Manufacturing

The Food Manufacturing NVQ’s have been replaced with Improve Proficiency Qualification’s (IPQ) and the apprenticeship framework has been updated and is now called Improve Proficiency Apprenticeship in Food and Drink.

As one of the first National Skills Academies for Food and Drink, Poultec Training has been recognised as a market leading provider with specialist expertise in the sector. Poultec employs a large team of industry competent assessors and trainers who deliver to the industry on a national basis.

Poultec’s IPQ and Apprenticeship delivery all takes place in the workplace and is planned with the employer to ensure all staff receive the required training, including staff on the night shift. Poultec have developed customised training pathways which relate directly to the employer’s varied work procedures and tasks making the training 100% relevant to all learners.

Poultec offers a wide range of industry relevant short courses, which include various Food Safety, Health and Safety and Leadership courses at different levels to cater for the entire workforce.
