Lumar Food Safety Services linear formatting of their course training outline allows for a comprehensive understanding through written and practical exercises to develop skills associated with the training course.  Nadia is an exceptional trainer that understands the teaching process in order to reach the required training goal by the end of the associated course.  Courses I have completed with Nadia are: HARA, Internal Audit, Risk Assessment, Root Cause Analysis, Validation and Verification.  Nadia Narine and Lumar Food Safety Service are the epitome of excellence, which sets the standard for industry training.

Nadia was such a great instructor. I did the HACCP Training and Internal Audit Course with very minimal previous experience in both of these subjects. Nadia was so knowledgeable, patient, and answered any questions or concerns that myself or any of the other students had in a professional and timely manner. I would highly recommend using Lumar Food Safety Services for any courses or consulting services.

We hired Nadia to facilitate our internal audit program per the BRCGS standard. She is one of the most thorough auditors I’ve worked with. She has a wealth of industry experience and insight which has ultimately helped us to improve our food safety quality system.

Working with Nadia Narine in working towards our SQF certification has been a rewarding experience. Nadia’s knowledge and patience as well as her straight forwardness was sincerely appreciated. Nadia has proven to be deeply passionate about food safety and would recommend anyone looking for consulting services to reach out and seek her helpful services.

It was a great pleasure for me to attend training that Nadia provided. She is a very experienced auditor and the trainer. This was my first experience with Lumar Food Safety Services Ltd., the training was 3 days for BRCGS lead auditor. I am currently an auditor for IFS, and this was a great experience for me. Very detailed drill by Nadia, which was very, very useful. I think understood this standard in depth after the training, off course it is very important to know content of standard before the course starts. At the end I would like to say thank you to Nadia for very nice training and be sure, if I have any need for other training that Lumar Food Safety Services Ltd. provides, I will choose them again.

I had attended BRCGS HACCP training conducted by Lumar Food Safety Services Ltd. Nadia is very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. Nadia made sure that we understood the concept before moving on to the next topic and shared many examples from the industry and which made it very interesting. Nadia is an excellent trainer and consultant. Nadia’s valuable recommendations/feedback has helped us to improve our Food Safety Program here at Embassy Ingredients. Nadia’s vast experience in the food industry makes the Training programs conducted by Lumar Food Safety Services very interesting and easy to understand.

Lumar Food safety services provides excellent BRCGS training, the instruction is very clear and with good examples and quiz.  Thank you very much for clarifying my confusion with the standard.

Nadia Narine is the consummate professional. When working with a consultant for something like BRCGS certification, you want someone who does not waste time (even, or especially, when it is you asking for an education at a consulting rate!!) and cuts to the heart of the matter. Nadia will educate, debate, and argue with you and is fearless in the pursuit of perfection.

We achieved BRCGS A&B v2 certification last week with a Grade AA and zero non-conformances. This is a perfect score.

Due in no small part to working with Lumar and Nadia this past year. We have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending that you engage with Lumar and be ready for a tough, expeditious, and successful journey.

Thank you, Nadia!

Nadia Narine has proved an immense help in the achievement of my professional objectives. Those objectives have included the strengthening of our workplace food safety and quality systems, as well as the expansion of my own professional skillset.

Not only does Nadia and her team provide top level instruction and consultation in the full range of topics that are of use to us (Site Standards, HACCP, Internal Auditing, etc…); her comprehensive knowledge of several GFSI benchmarked quality standard schemes (and their relative strengths) has been particularly useful to our team.

Nadia not only possesses an encyclopedic understanding of her subject matter; but she also has a very personable communicative style, and is an excellent instructional talent.

I, and my team see Nadia as an important asset as regards the quality of our organizational food safety defense regime; as well as in the development/enhancement of our individual professional qualifications.

I would definitely recommend Nadia Narine as a trainer for anyone interested in learning more about GFSI policies and best practices. Coming from an operations and sales background, Nadia made it easy to absorb the information and translate it to practical plant scenarios. Nadia made this training easy to comprehend, especially during the coronavirus pandemic, which prevented in-person instruction.

Lumar Food Safety Services has great services. I did the BRC HACCP Course with them. It was really a great experience.

Nadia Narine was my trainer. She made things so simple to understand. I would like to have more courses from her.

The variety of courses provided by Lumar Food Safety Services Ltd. have broadened my food safety knowledge which I am able to utilize on a daily basis, the knowledge and experience shared by Nadia were a big help to fill in the gap between the standards and reality settings. I also had the opportunity to take an online virtual course with them which I found was convenience and Nadia tried her very best to make sure there are as much interaction as possible as in class courses.

I have taken two of Nadia’s courses, one in person, and one virtually. Both classes have given me valuable knowledge for the industry I am in. Nadia was very patient with answering all of my questions! Thank you for all the help!

Nadia was an excellent trainer, by explaining the BRC concepts in a way that is easily understood and applicable to real world events/activities.  The material she and Lumar Food Safety provided was helpful too.  Next time I need training, I will be coming back to Nadia and Lumar Food Safety Services.

Your virtual course was the best choice for me. It was great that using the technique of the XXIst century I could easily participate from Hungary in the 2-day course of BRC Packaging 5 organized in Canada!

You made a good refreshment of the requirements and the protocol. Especially the examples were very helpful. I could follow the course well. Time management was good. And after the course I passed the exam for the first attempt! Thanks!

I have attended quite few courses over the twenty nine years. Nadia is an exceptional trainer.  Her last course I attended was for BRC Issue 8 – 3rd Party Auditor. 5 days course covered a lot of information, Nadia delivered in concise chunks that were easy to absorb. The structure was clear, logical and effective. Nadia had obviously put a lot of thought and expertise into preparation.

This course gave me greater confidence to implement new techniques on my supplier audits.  I didn’t just learn “how” to write – “what” and “why” also became much clearer.

Nadia has a calm and logical method of teaching that truly connects with the plant team as she has consulted the plant over the years to improve the Food Safety Programs. Nadia has excellent response time to the questions which arises at the plant level.

I had a great experience with Nadia Narine from Lumar Food Safety Services. She was an excellent trainer who was very educated and knowledgeable. It can be difficult to find adequate training for the BRCGS Food Packaging standard (much of the training I have come across focuses on the food standard but not packaging) but Nadia was very helpful in guiding me through the course. She used a variety of techniques to verify my competency and tailored the training to our place of business where possible. I would definitely take a course with LumarFood Safety Services again!

The BRC S&D training occurred in a suitable location with professional presentation and real life examples to assist me with successful completion of the standard requirements to become an approved auditor.  I would use your service again in the future.

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.
