Shellfish Curriculum
Last Update: March 22, 2006
Level 1 - Draft 1-14 2004
The development of ORA Us Level 1 for the new hire or apprentice level courses for shellfish 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-Us Level 2 will be composed of web and face-to-face courses.
