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

Last Update: March 22, 2006

Draft

1-14-2004

The development of ORA U Level 1 for the new hire or apprentice level courses for milk is currently using much of the format of Standard Number 2, Trained Regulatory Staff, from FDA's draft program standards for retail food and manufactured foods. The time required to complete each online course varies with the individual. Typically, most courses can be completed within 60-90 minutes.

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