I have successfully enrolled in four (4) courses with Nadia as my instructor. She is very detail-oriented, and her delivery method is hands-on on. I like the interactive sessions with structured case studies which are usually very helpful in an application for the industry. She doesn’t just read from the slides but explains in detail for clarity. Nadia has also helped our facility to achieve AA in our BRCGS certification. During internal preparation audits, she challenges our food safety programs in-depth to prepare us for the best possible results. With her years of experience in the industry, I recommend absolutely her services!

I would highly recommend Lumar Food Services Ltd. for any training that they are qualified to deliver. I specifically participated in the BRCGS Risk Assessment training and found the entire experience very enjoyable and valuable. Nadia Narine was our trainer and she was exceptional! My team member and I weren’t certain we would gain much from the training because our focus is tissue products; however, Nadia was able to easily relate the methodology to our product and made sure to engage us where many of the other attendees were in the food industry. Our intent is to use Lumar Food Safety Services for future training as we move along our journey to certification to the BRCGS for Consumer Products. Nadia was also very responsive to any questions that came up during the completion of the assignment portion, and that was appreciated. Your positive energy throughout the course made the entire process very enjoyable. Keep up the great work and hope to attend more training with you in the near future.

Nadia is a very thorough auditor who does an excellent job of finding areas of improvement in your programs and manufacturing practices. I have taken two training courses through Lumar Food Safety systems, both of which Nadia was the instructor. She is engaging in her delivery of the content, which makes the courses entertaining and the content impactful.

I have been using Lumar Food Safety Services for my own and the company’s continuing education in Food Safety. At first, it has been difficult to implement the GFSI scheme with a direct food contact packaging manufacturer. The lecturer’s education, lesson plans, and knowledge have allowed me to successfully receive certification for over 6 years. I’ve taken many courses, but the one-on-one opportunity I am able to ask from an experienced and knowledgeable team has allowed me to improve and navigate through the changing regulations and expectations to produce a direct contact food-safe product. I appreciate and will continue using Lumar Food Safety Services. I recommend new and experienced Food Manufacturers to use their services.

I attended the BRCGS Issue 9 Site Training in December, Nadia is a very skilled and prepared trainer.  She’s skillful in keeping the attendees focused and involving them to participate. She answered all my (and everybody’s) questions right away with no doubts. I absolutely recommend her and Lumar Food Safety as instruments of training.

I highly recommend Nadia as a trainer for all your food safety/GFIS needs. I’ve done both the BRC Issue 8 site training and the Environmental Monitoring course with her and she’s only ever helpful and professional and always ready to answer a question. I’ve found her very knowledgeable and able to take her own experiences plus the training material, to help you understand how to make it work for your company.

The company I work for adheres to strict food safety, sustainability, and ethical standards. The company expects us to participate in various courses, BRCGS Professional credentialization being one of them. Not long ago, several of my peers and I worked with Nadia as our trainer to complete the BRCGS – Vulnerability Assessment for Food Fraud module. I found the experience simple and seamless and had no issue grasping the curriculum with Nadia as our guide. I have yet to complete the other two required modules for the professional certification, but when I do, I’m sure we’ll call Nadia to assist.

I have taken many Lumar courses and found each one very educational. These were my first courses for a BCRGS scheme, and I took away a great understanding of it. The fact that the courses had virtually made them entirely assessable to me. Nadia was my trainer for each class, she is very experienced and gave many real-life scenarios that helped bring the content to reality. I highly recommend Lumar food safety services!

Nadia has great people skills and a strong ability to engage with delegates (asking questions and creating discussions) and support them.

Her energy is contagious and livens up the room. The technology, equipment, and headset that is used delivered crisp strong sound. This makes a positive impact on the instructor’s platform skills and quality of communication.

She is also very fluent in the content and her introduction was also excellent.

Everything was extremely positive and we want to thank you Nadia for your great work and passion in delivering training!

Nadia is an incredibly knowledgeable trainer. Any and all future training I need will definitely be going through Lumar. Thank you!

The reason for joining this course is to acquire knowledge about Vulnerability Assessment for Food Fraud. The course were very helpful and informative indeed. It was simplified and well-organized so that even the topics that is new to me made sense somehow. Nadia Narine our trainer was having excellent attitude. The method of her teaching was very good and the course material was adequate and highly beneficial. If I ever need to recommend a training institute LFSS would definitely be the first one on my list.

Nadia is a great trainer and very detailed. I had a wonderful experience taking the SQF Advanced Practitioner course. Would definitely recommend!

Nadia did an excellent job and was through during the whole training curriculum. She went above and beyond to provide information to all of our questions and putting our company in contact with the right resources. I had used Lumar training services in the past and will continue to use and recommend their training services.

I would highly recommend Lumar Food Safety Services for their training services. I participated in the BRCGS Rick assessment training course a few months ago and found both the content and the delivery excellent. Nadia Narine led the training and was enthusiastic and approachable. Although most of the participants worked in the food industry, Nadia provided multiple examples to ensure content was relevant for all participants, regardless of the industry they work in. Although the course was delivered virtually due to pandemic restrictions, Nadia was engaging and provided a valuable learning experience.

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.
