HACCP - foundation (level 2)

Includes examination fee

The course is designed to give participants a good introduction to the concept, principles and terminology of HACCP.  We use a mix of tutor presentations and short exercises to meet this objective.  The course is very suitable for non-core HACCP team members and staff needing an overview of HACCP.  It is also very useful as a refresher for more experienced personnel.   In addition, delegates have the opportunity to achieve a nationally recognised Foundation Level (2) qualification in HACCP (RSPH Level 2 Award in Understanding HACCP).

A previous knowledge of basic food safety is desirable.

• Background to HACCP
• Introduction to Prerequisite Programme
• The Codex principles of HACCP – how to apply them
• HACCP benefits
• Optional Foundation Level (2) examination (RSPH Level 2 Award in Understanding HACCP)
