International Produce Training, in cooperation with Southeast Produce Council, is now accepting registrations for a two-day training class on the inspection procedures for fresh produce. Although attendees from the May 2010 class receive priority, the registration is open to anyone interested in attending. The class size is limited to the first twenty registrants.
Some of the commodities included on the agenda are: Apples, Citrus, Pineapples, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Broccoli, Cauliflower and various Melons.
As with all IPT training classes, much of the emphasis is devoted to hands-on training, with participants inspecting actual specimens, identifying defects and properly scoring the specimens as defects or as being acceptable for the grade standard.
The class in October will be held in Hickory, NC. The registration deadline is September 21, 2010. For further information, please contact Southeast Produce Council.
If you or your organization would like to host your own training class, invite your own participants and choose your own commodities, please contact International Produce Training to schedule your event.
