PQA Plus Forum AdvisementThe Forum Advisement presented by an Indiana Pork Association delegate.
Motion: The National Pork Board is encouraged to develop an online course/exam for first time PQA Plus certifications
***********************************************************Rationale:
PQA Plus training plays an important role in educating those who work in the pork industry. As the role of technology becomes more prevalent on our farms, a natural extension of that technological development should include additional options for educating our employees. High turnover, multiple sites, and time constraints can make in-person trainings difficult, where online training would be readily available. In an online course, the material and the presentation of that material would be completely consistent—eliminating variance between individual trainers.
PQA/TQA Updates for 2017• The National Pork Board and PQA Task Force have voted to: Allow 1st time
PQA individuals to contact a PQA Advisor to request an online certification training.
• TQA Task Force agreed to follow the lead and allow 1st time TQA individuals to contact a TQA Advisor to request online certification training.
• The National Pork Board IT Department will have to do some behind the scenes programing the remainder of 2016 to allow for these adjustments to be made to the certification programs.
