Shellfish

 

FDA/ORA/Division of Human Resource Development
Training Curriculum for State, Local & Tribal Regulators
Shellfish Curriculum

Last Update: March 22, 2006

Level 1  

Draft
1-14 2004

The development of ORA U’s Level 1 for the “new hire” or “apprentice” level courses for shellfish is currently using much of the format of Standard Number 2, Trained Regulatory Staff, from FDA’s draft program standards for retail food and manufactured foods. The time required to complete each online course varies with the individual.  Typically, most courses can be completed within 60 – 90 minutes.

ORA-U is developing a Level 2 of the curriculum as part of the certification for the “journeymen” to assist in continued and specialized training. ORA-U’s Level 2 will be composed of web and face-to-face courses.
