Read what some of our past participants have had to say about their experiences in JIFSAN's program. Please note that the following opinions do not necessarily reflect those of the organization of which the source is a member:

“Lecturers did a remarkable job to avoid difficult jargon and idioms and clarify definitions, and this contributed to improve communication. The JIFSAN Certificate is a rather valuable asset in itself, but it is not only the certificate (that is important). Knowledge and contacts are both excellent.”

Hector M. Lupin
Food and Agriculture Organization
2004 Summer Integrated Program participant,
Quantitative Track Certificate Recipient

“Everything about it was strong. The information, the materials, the instructors. It's hard to pick any one thing (as being the strongest) without slighting everything else, and it was all excellent. The degree of difficulty was about right for me. I was neither snowed nor snored!”

Michael O’Donnell
U.S. FDA Mathematician
2004 Summer Integrated Program participant
Core Program Certificate Recipient

“I found it useful and challenging. It is indeed a good overview for the topic for someone with no prior knowledge of risk analysis.”

Antoinette Johnson
Department of Environmental Health
Grand Cayman Islands
2005 Distance Learning participant

“The course was well designed and visually stimulating. I will recommend this course to all inspectors in my agency as it is a good overview.”

Steve Wilson
U.S. Department of Commerce
