Calf Care & Quality Assurance (CCQA) is a quality assurance certification program that was built to unite calf raisers around key management practices that ensures consumers all cattle raised at a calf raising facility are healthy and well cared for and the products they generate are wholesome and safe. Components of the program include Calf Health, Animal Handling and Stockmanship, Management and Care, Employee Training, Continuing Education, and Emergency Preparedness.
The goal of a Train the Trainer session is to prepare and certify industry leaders in the techniques and instruction of the program. Once certified, you will gain access to the CCQA Instructor Hub that houses all the materials needed to host a CCQA Training. Following access to the hub, you can then host on-farm training events to assist in employee training and certification.
