How long is the good practices course and in what format?

It is 8 hours, usually in two 4-hour sessions or four short 2-hour sessions at the start of the shift. It can be on-site at your farm, packing house or plant, live virtual, self-paced on the platform, or a combination, with on-site practice.

Does it include a DC-3 certificate?

Yes. Every participant who meets the attendance and assessment criteria receives a DC-3 certificate with the data required by Mexico's STPS, and the platform keeps attendance lists, grades and dates as training records for your food-safety audits and inspections.

Does it help with audits such as PrimusGFS or GLOBALG.A.P.?

It covers the training topics these schemes usually review and leaves records per person, topic and date. The content is aligned with your procedures, but it does not replace your food-safety lead or the certification body, which defines the applicable requirements.

What about questions after the sessions?

Geedle Bot, our artificial-intelligence agent, is trained on the course content and recordings. It answers questions at any hour and takes the participant to the exact minute and second of the recording where the instructor explained the topic, so nobody waits until the next session.
