EP Infoways Pvt. Ltd. is a registered Training Partner with FOSTAC – FSSAI for Training and Certification.

ISO 22000 is a broader food safety system that is fully based on quality principles. HACCP is a risk management tool that prevents food safety hazards from ever occurring in the first place. ISO 22000 incorporates HACCP principles and regulations.

A food safety management system (FSMS) is not only a legal requirement but a helpful tool to ensure safe practices are followed within your business. A FSMS is a systematic approach to controlling food safety hazards within a food business in order to ensure that food is safe to eat

FSSC 22000 scheme, in contrast to the ISO standard, is recognized by the GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative). GFSI recognition demonstrates that the scheme meets the highest standards globally leading to international food industry acceptance.

From farm to factory to fork, food products may encounter any number of health hazards during their journey through the supply chain. Safe food handling practices and procedures are thus implemented at every stage of the food production life cycle in order to curb these risks and prevent harm to consumers.

Hence we are organizing this Awareness training session for these system implementations on food safety.

 Considering India’s target to achieve a GER of 35% by 2025, there was a need to allow more quality-driven institutes to harness the power of online learning. Changes in textbooks and syllabus cannot keep pace with the rate at which technology is evolving which makes online learning imperative and not just a catalyst in the fast-changing environment.
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced  in her Budget 2020 speech that the top 100 educational institutions in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) will be offering full-fledged degree programmes online, the focus was on providing quality education across the spectrum, more specifically to the deprived sections of the society. UGC had floated the norms for online degrees and said universities that are accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council with at least a score of 3.01 on a scale of 4, or those who have found a place in the top 100 list of the National Institutional Ranking Framework can apply for offering fully online programmes. Fully-online degrees are an extension of India’s larger plan to open up and liberalize higher education

 

 

 

What is Online degree

 

An online degree is an academic degree that can be earned primarily or entirely through the use of an Internet-connected computer, rather than attending college in a traditional campus setting.

Online vs regular education

Obtaining degree online is more convenient than obtaining it by regularly going to campus for the same. Especially for people with jobs, families, and other commitments that make it difficult to move or maintain a regular schedule.

 

Basis of comparison	Online Education	Regular/Traditional Degree
Flexibility	Online degrees allow one to study as per your convenience. This is ideal and beneficial if you have working professional and also have to maintain work life balance.	Lesser flexibility is there in case of traditional campus method as you have to follow the regular fixed schedule.
Price	Online degree will be priced at lower or same price as the on-campus version when it comes to tuition fees, but being able to complete it from home has one big advantage: fewer living expenses.	Regular degree in comparison of online degree is far more expensive to obtain as residential expenses are added in case you go for residential degree and also cost for regular degree is at higher side.
Choice	The adaptability of online degrees works both ways. You have full liberty to choose any course from all round the world irrespective of distance. If you wish to study something niche then an online degree can be a great way to do so.	You have to see all constraints to select the course. There is limitation in
Social life	Studying by yourself at home for hours on end can isolate you from another aspect of the university experience and making friends	A group environment can be very motivating, helping you see things from a different perspective or get help when you’re stuck.
Independence	One of the biggest things young people in particular miss out on by studying online degrees is the opportunity to move away from home. This might sound unimportant, but actually it forms what is, for many people, one of the most valuable parts of the university experience	Students who study abroad, in particular, learn life skills like adaptability, resilience and initiative that are difficult (though not impossible) to get when you’re attending lectures from your own home. To use an oft-quoted cliché, it pushes you out of your ‘comfort zone’.
Resources	There are some things you simply can’t study at home. Maybe you need specialist equipment, tools or materials to really become an expert on your chosen subject.	Universities have a host of top-notch resources for you to use that you typically can’t find off campus.
