Pork Quality Assurance Plus (PQA+) provides a framework for significant, relevant food safety standards and improved animal well-being. Many pork packers require producers who provide pigs to them and any family members or employees working in producer barns be PQA Plus certified. Taking this course will certify you for 3 years.

Pork Quality Assurance Plus (PQA+) certification training includes time for the exam.
