I am writing to recommend the services of Lumar Food Safety Services. Nadia Narine is a remarkable trainer and recipient of Approved Training Partner and Consultant of the Year as well as BRCGS Auditor of the year. I had the pleasure of updating my BRC 3rd Party Auditor certification in a class that Nadia taught at the beginning of 2019. Nadia was informative on the new issue 8 for Food Safety. She welcomed questions and feedback throughout the course. When challenged with a question that could have multiple answers she would consult with BRCGS to verify answers before explain to the class. Nadia is not only a skilled trainer but a throrough auditor as well. She provided many real life examples to help the class participants understand how to apply the material in a manufacturing setting.

I recommend the services of Lumar Food Safety Services not only for training but also auditing and application of BRCGS standards.

I had a great experience using Nadia Narine as my trainer. She was very accommodating to my crazy schedule and made my goal of obtaining my BRC Professional Badge an accomplishment. If it wasn’t for her, it would have been much harder to complete this task. Her instruction is very clear and she presents it in a manner that is very easy to understand. If you do have a question, she is very patient and answers it in a way that makes sense. She is also very responsive to any emails or questions that may come up before or after the training session. All-in-all, I would definitely recommend Nadia and I will use her again in the future for any other training need that I may have.

The trainer was very knowledgeable about the training material for each of the courses I’ve attended. The most valuable part was interacting with the trainer, there was plenty of trainer attention and opportunities for participation and exchanges, so that I and other course participants could ask questions. All the back and forth conversation was very helpful in learning the material and provided clarification for questions and doubt raised during my day to day job experience. There is no hesitation in recommending training through Lumar Food Safety Ltd (Trainer – Nadia Narine) to other colleagues.

Nadia is a subject matter expert when it comes to food safety. She has a long and reputable track record in the food industry.  I had her as a trainer in Scarborough, Canada for SQF – Manufacture of Food Packaging. Her class was very engaging. She made the training materials come alive through interactive learning.

I took the BRC Root Cause Analysis Course with Nadia. She held a smaller class which allowed for great discussions. Nadia is very knowledgeable and provides several practical examples to help drive concepts home. She is both personable and passionate, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a food safety and compliance trainer.

I have attended many food safety seminars and courses. Nadia is definitely one of the best instructors I’ve had. She is engaging, keeps the content interesting and uses many real life examples to reinforce the content throughout the course.

Embassy Ingredients has partnered with Lumar Food Safety Serviced to enhance our Food Safety and Quality Management Systems.  Nadia’s passion for food safety, expertise, guidance and ability to provide training goes above and beyond all of our expectations.  We highly recommend Nadia and Lumar Food Safety Services.

I have had the pleasure to work with Nadia Narine and Lumar Food safety Services Ltd. on more than one occasion. Nadia and the Lumar team are knowledgeable, patient, understanding and have the ability to explain topics so they are clear and understandable. Nadia is a warm, personable trainer who genuinely takes pride in the work she does. I would highly recommend Nadia and the Lumar Food safety Services team to anyone (group) who seeks to improve their grasp on food safety.

I received the BRC Agent & Brokers Issue 2 Auditor training by Nadia this past year. Overall, she was very professional and capable of explaining the standard. She was very knowledgeable in the requirements of the standard and understood how to effectively convey the differences from Issue 1 to Issue 2 to me.  It was a unique training; she and I were remote (Canada and USA) and so she effectively conducted the training over a training portal/presentation. We were able to talk and see the slideshows while she discussed the topics.

Nadia did a very good job of keeping the training interesting so that I could comprehend the detailed information. The course was approximately one day long, so we discussed the information in a deliberate manner.

I enjoyed the training and would recommend Nadia for other training.

And lastly, I scored well on the exam after the training, so she must have been an effective trainer.

I recently completed the Advanced SQF Practitioner course with Nadia.  She was extremely accommodating since I was unable to actually travel to the course site.  We worked together for 2 days on completing the course and went through various scenarios and situations.  She was very organized and the course was informative.  I really enjoyed getting to work with her and achieving my next certification.

Our company made the decision to transition from SQF to BRC so two of my colleagues and I took the Understanding the Requirements for Agents and Brokers Course with Nadia. We found that Nadia was very knowledgeable, able to answer all of our questions, and pleasant to work with.  In addition, because of her in-depth understanding of both SQF and BRC standards, Nadia was able to point out key similarities and differences between the two, which was extremely useful in making our transition.  We would definitely recommend taking a course with Nadia!

I took a Root Cause Analysis Course with Nadia earlier this year. She was very thorough in explaining the concepts, encouraged the students to participate and provide guidance on in-class exercises. I had fun learning with her and gained the knowledge/tools required for my job.

Recently I had the pleasure of attending courses for my BRC Professional Certification with Nadia Narine of Lumar Food Safety Ltd.  I really enjoyed the format, small class size and interaction with other class members.  The course content was well presented and very helpful in assisting my understanding of the expectations of the BRC audit process.  Additionally, I believe this experience will aid significantly in strengthening our program.

I have completed a variety of training courses with Nadia at Lumar Food Safety Services Ltd, and have had nothing but positive experiences.  Nadia’s experience working in the industry in both manufacturing as well as in auditing gives her a well-rounded perspective which shines through as a training instructor.  When I leave a training session with Nadia, I always come back to the workplace armed with new ideas to help improve food safety from the production floor to the documentation in our offices.

Ms. Nadia Narine, owner of Lumar Food Safety Services Ltd has provided consultancy and training for food safety at Kiskadee Ventures Limited. Training was diligent, elaborative and informative. She also provided consultancy for developing Food Safety Program based on SQF Code Edition 8 and Kiskadee Ventures achieved SQF certification with her knowledge and expertise.  She was very detailed and provided support, positive feedback and motivation to keep us focused on the task. I have always found Nadia knowledgeable, collaborative and solutions driven. She is a well versed Quality Professional and technically an expert in food safety. Her knowledge and experience in this field are exemplary and very valuable to any company in the process of certification.

Just a note to thank you for the great BRC training you gave to me.

Your motivational presentation definitely empowers me with the necessary skills to BRC internal audit challenges. The words you speak and the techniques you show me truly motivate me to work toward my success on this new role.

Your activities helped me internalized how an internal audit should be conducted and also emphasize to my company the importance of including more departments to it so we all get involved for the Audit purposes.

I wish you continued success in your work helping others to get the necessary skills for their success.

Nadia was a key asset to our success. She helped us to put a structured plan of training, procedures and processes into place that allowed us to pass our BRC Agents and Brokers audit with a perfect score. Having her support to develop our food safety program was of great benefit to our company, we would not have been able to do it without her.

Lumar Food Safety Services Ltd. was a perfect fit to help facilitate Sherway in acquiring our SQF certification.  They provided honest, educational feedback at every step of the process.  With their professional guidance and training, it made our task of certifying that much easier.  We will continue our relationship with Lumar Food Safety Services Ltd. for years to come.

Nadia Narine was the auditor in our surveillance audit in November 2016. We found her inspection to be firm, assertive and very honest. Therefore, this year, we requested that Nadia come and do the site inspection and this was mainly because we felt that she was very thorough and from our perspective, this was exactly what we need, an honest assessment of our processes and practices.

I have been in food industry for almost 25 years and attended to many different trainings, seminars and presentation and I would rate Nadia’s training in one of my favorite ones.
Nadia has massive food industry experience, auditing expertise and good education background which makes the training very interesting, logical, easy to understand and interactive.
Her ability to engage every single person in the training is outstanding and helps the training goes very interesting.
