HACCP and Food Safety Advanced Level 4

Looking for Food Hygiene / Safety Level 4 training? Looking for HACCP Level 4? Don't do these separately when you can get your qualification in one course. You will get the full benefit of having a live trainer on this Zoom course, so that you can ask questions and have meaningful discussions. This course is in-depth, relevant and up to date with the latest codex and industry changes and challenges.

This combined HACCP and Food Safety Level 4 course will give you a 2 in 1 qualification that is unique to STC. Other training providers only provide these as separate qualifications, however STC has challenged this practice since “you can’t know HACCP without food safety, and you can’t know food safety without HACCP!”.

Holders of the qualification will have the knowledge necessary to be an integral part of a food business as well as part of Technical & Quality departments and HACCP team members, team leaders, consultants or trainers. The qualification is also suitable for those working in related industries, such as packaging, storage & distribution.

The qualification is also relevant to those owning/managing smaller food businesses to give them the underpinning knowledge to develop a HACCP study and understand the fundamentals of food safety.

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points is one of the most important elements to learn, understand and practice in food safety training and we do this through impactful course materials and meaningful case studies. The best way to identify whether food is ready and safe for consumption is through the use of HACCP and this course takes you through a deeper understanding of how to manage PRP's (prerequisite programmes) and CCP's (critical control points) so that you can see how HACCP defines the way a business controls hazards in order to ensure food safety / hygiene. The course includes essential requirements such as Food Safety and Quality Culture and other such GFSI requirements.

Foodborne illnesses or severe allergic reactions are just a few of the main reasons why HACCP is extremely important to understand and practice. Whether it stems from poor hygiene in food preparation or an unwanted bacteria that can multiply and create high health risks – learning the core functions of HACCP through proper training will allow you to prevent any of these serious issues from occurring far in advance.

If you play a significant part in making safe foods / drinks in your business, or if you act as a consultant or auditor, then this advanced HACCP and food safety / hygiene course is for you.

This course has been accredited by the CPD Standards Office for delivery, structure and content.
