Regulatory training is always daunting—learning the law, deciphering nuances and vague terms used within the body of the law—but Matt McClure with Avert took his time explaining the law’s intention and better describing the vague terminology in a manner both those new to food safety and those with process control experience could understand.  Matt’s ability to take long, convoluted legal statements and break them down to concise, user friendly nomenclature facilitated better understanding of the material for me, personally.  I found the PCHF Blended Course Part 2 to be a worthwhile review of material learned in the individual part 1 modules without being a complete re-read.  I remained engaged the entire day because Matt did an excellent job of not reading slides but discussing concepts in a way to solidify understanding of the requirements and drawing on his vast industry experience to better describe how they may apply, not just to the example in the module or the group exercise, but to our real world processes, as well.  Matt also moderated the group exercises in such a manner to permit free-thinking while expertly setting us back on track when our discussion strayed too far off the mark. My thanks to Avert/Matt McClure for making this class feel less like a lecture and more like a discussion.  Upon completing the class I feel prepared to tackle the FSPs I’ve inherited and, with fresh eyes and new understanding, I feel equipped to work with my team to improve them while reminding the team of the requirements of the PCHF rule, as well.  If you are new to food safety or have years of HACCP experience, Matt can still teach you a thing or two.
