FDA/ORA/Division of Human Resource Development Training Curriculum for State, Local & Tribal Regulators
Feed Control Curriculum

Last Update: March 22, 2006

ORA Us Level 1 web courses are designed to help satisfy the seven topic areas of training developed with the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) for the new hire or apprentice level. The time required to complete each online course varies with the individual. Typically, most courses can be completed within 60 – 90 minutes.

ORA-U and AAFCO are developing a Level 2 of the curriculum as part of the certification for the journeymen to assist in continued and specialized training. ORA-Us Level 2 will be composed of web and face-to-face courses.
