Dear Colleagues,

We would like to make you aware of two upcoming opportunities for training in risk analysis, one is a Postgraduate Certificate course in Risk Analysis in Health and Food Safety starting March 2014, and the other is the short course “Animal Agriculture and Food Safety Risk Analysis and Disease Modeling” running from Sept. 2-13, 2013.

The Postgraduate Certificate in Risk Analysis in Health and Food Safety offered by the Royal Veterinary College and EpiX Analytics is now open for registrations. Register now to ensure you get a place in the course starting in March 2014. The program, among the first recognized academic qualifications in Risk Analysis in Health and Food Safety, aims at providing the skills for cutting-edge and in-depth practice in quantitative risk analysis in health and food safety. It builds on previously successful training programs delivered by the two institutions, and offers candidates the opportunity to develop hands-on work skills and tailor their studies to their own professional and development needs. Options are offered to accommodate the working schedule of participants including part-time study and online examinations. Applicants with prior knowledge in risk analysis and/or who have attended risk analysis training delivered by EpiX/RVC can also apply for an exemption from Module 1 (and discounted fees). For more information on the postgraduate certificate please visit: www.rvc.ad.uk/rahfs or www.epixanalytics.com/RAHFS.html or contact Barbara O’Neill at boneill@epixanalytics.com.

Candidates that cannot undertake the postgraduate certificate in 2014 may be interested in our course Animal Agriculture and Food Safety Risk Analysis and Disease Modeling, offered on September 2-13, 2013 at the Camden campus of the Royal Veterinary College in London, UK. This two-week course aims at providing participants with practical and critical risk analysis skills, and the course credits can be used for continuing professional development and selected postgraduate programs such as our postgraduate certificate.
