Latest training scheme delivers inside track on sustainable warewashing
The Foodservice Equipment
Association (FEA) is launching its latest Foodservice Carbon Professional (FCP)
module, Warewashing on Monday 16th September. Focusing on catering
equipment, FCP is designed to help foodservice professionals get a full
understanding of carbon net zero, sustainability and energy efficiency, so they
can use the knowledge to help meet green targets. FCP is made up of a Core Module that looks
at the broad picture, plus additional sector-specific modules covering dedicated
areas.
The FCP course is aimed at anyone
working in the foodservice industry, including foodservice operators, dealers,
manufacturers, designers, consultants, and suppliers.
As well as giving delegates the
knowledge to make sustainable and energy efficient choices around warewashing
equipment, the new module covers best practice and look at areas such as
service, maintenance, and chemicals. It
delves into the importance of mechanical components in maintaining
sustainability, and looks at how the design, installation and operation of
equipment can keep emissions to a minimum and reduce energy, water and chemical
consumption.
Delegates will learn about areas
such as regulations and legislation, energy measurement for warewashing, and
the energy technology list (ETL).
They’ll consider the impact of the lifetime emissions and embodied
carbon of warewashing equipment, the environmental issues around cleaning
chemicals, and the lifecycle cost and disposal of equipment. There is also a section covering the latest
innovations and developments in warewashing technology.
The course includes cases studies
to illustrate the equipment lifecycle, with practical insights showing how
theoretical concepts apply in the real world.
“Warewashing is a significant
consumer not only of energy but also water and chemicals,” says Adam Lawrence,
marketing manager of FEA. “As such it’s
a key component in the development of a sustainable foodservice industry. We expect this module to attract a lot of
interest.” Anyone wishing to delve
deeper into the course material can join
the live launch webinar, hosted by Dr Sam Mudie, on 16th
September. (Alternative link is tinyurl.com/34kc3fs5).
FCP is delivered via
FEA Academy, the Association’s learning management system. It consists of
online modules that are completed within 12 months, at the student’s own pace,
and webinar tutorials. The main
core course costs £750, with individual sector specific modules, including
warewashing, costing £650. A combined core/category specific module deal is
also available with core and one product module costing £1300 per person, a
saving of £100.
More information on the course can be found
