Advanced Course for UHT Processing and Aseptic Packaging

Also known as the Approved Persons Course for UHT Processing and Aseptic Packaging (New Zealand).

This course has been developed for those involved with the management, development, validation and control of UHT processing and aseptic packaging of low-acid and acid foods and beverages, and is specifically designed to provide an advanced level of training and accreditation that will be regarded by the food industry and regulators as similar in status to the Approved Persons Course for Thermally Processing of Low-Acid Canned Foods which DWC FoodTech has been presenting in collaboration with CSIRO since 1997.

The syllabus applies to the manufacture of sterilised low-acid shelf stable products (aseptic), pasteurised acid shelf stable products and pasteurised products with a nominated refrigerated shelf life. Throughout the training the structured class setting is enhanced by numerous practical examinations drawn from DWC FoodTech's extensive commercial experience.

For those not wishing to undertake the advanced level of training, a simplified course, called the Fundamentals of UHT Processing and Aseptic Packaging course is also available (details below).

Fundamentals of UHT Processing and Aseptic Packaging

This course has been developed in response to the demand for a basic training program which is suitable for personnel involved with the development, verification, maintenance and operation of UHT processing and aseptic packaging systems for low-acid and acid foods and beverages.

The syllabus presents the theoretical basis underpinning thermal processing technologies for the manufacture of acid and low-acid UHT processed foods and provides practical training in the operation of UHT heat treatment plants and aseptic filling systems.
