About Eurofins Academy
Eurofins Academy is the knowledge and training center of Eurofins Food Safety Solutions. Here, we bundle the expertise of our specialists in labeling, quality assurance, microbiology, and risk management into a powerful learning platform.
With us, you don't just learn everything about substantive food safety, but also how to apply it in practice.
We translate knowledge from the laboratory and advisory practice into training courses that help you and your company grow in securing food safety. Our training courses match the daily reality of QA teams, producers, importers, and retailers. This means you can apply the knowledge immediately after completing our training.
Trainings from our sister companies, Eurofins Bureau de Wit and Eurofins C-mark, are also part of our offerings. This way, you can find all courses that contribute to safe food and safe water throughout the entire supply chain in one place.
Our vision on learning
Eurofins Academy has one clear mission: helping organisations grow in food safety by making learning a structural part of the quality culture.
Food safety starts with knowledge, but is secured through insight. That is why we structure our training courses so that participants understand what they are doing, why they are doing it, and how to apply it in practice. Every training course combines theory with real-world examples from our laboratories and advisory projects. This grows not only your knowledge, but also your confidence to make food safety decisions, pass audits, and implement improvements on the shop floor.
Learning doesn't stop after the training: through repetition, practice, and follow-up in daily work, knowledge stays alive and applicable. We encourage participants to apply what they have learned immediately, share it with colleagues, and provide feedback on what can be improved. In this way, learning becomes a continuous process rather than a one-time training session. Eurofins Academy also offers tools for this.
“We don't train theory, we train insight.”
How we work: learning from practice for practice
Eurofins Academy's strength lies in the close collaboration between our practical specialists. Our training courses are developed and delivered by people who work daily with retailers, producers, importers, and QA teams. As a result, they seamlessly align with the challenges professionals face in the food supply chain.
Every training course is carefully structured:
- Pedagogically structured: Supported by our educational specialist to ensure that content, structure, and learning methods reinforce each other.
- Continuously improved: Every training session is evaluated with participants and clients, after which we immediately incorporate points for improvement.
- Structure-driven development: Managed by our Academy manager, colleagues from all disciplines (consultants, laboratory specialists, and labeling experts) work together on new modules.
Follow-up after the training
What makes our approach special is the follow-up after the training. Our specialists remain involved even after the session has ended. They encourage participants to apply what they've learned in their own work environment and assist with questions or real-world cases. Through follow-up training, practical assignments, and the online community, we ensure repetition and practical application, which has been proven to be how you truly learn. This allows what you learn to grow into lasting improvement on the shop floor.
