Overview

The HACCP Level 1 Awareness Training course is designed to provide learners with an introductory understanding of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles and their role in supporting food safety within food-related environments. This course focuses on awareness of basic HACCP concepts and food safety control rather than formal certification or operational authority.

Learners explore what HACCP is, why it is used, and how it contributes to preventing food safety hazards across food handling, preparation, and production settings. The course introduces fundamental food safety management concepts in a clear and accessible way, making it suitable for individuals new to HACCP.

Key themes include the role of HACCP in food safety control, preparation and planning for food safety management, understanding hazards and their significance, and recognising the importance of prerequisite programmes (PRPs). The course builds confidence and awareness for individuals working in or around food environments.

Rather than qualifying learners to implement or manage HACCP systems, this HACCP course provides foundational knowledge and awareness to support safe working practices and understanding of food safety systems.

Description

This HACCP Level 1 Awareness Training course consists of four structured modules, followed by an assessment, each designed to develop introductory understanding of HACCP and food safety awareness.

The course begins with an introduction to HACCP and its role in food safety control, outlining what HACCP is, why it exists, and how it supports the prevention of food safety risks.

Preparation and planning to achieve effective food safety management introduce basic concepts related to readiness, organisation, and the importance of structured approaches to food safety.

Hazards, their significance, and control explore common food safety hazards, including biological, chemical, and physical risks, and why controlling these hazards is essential to protecting food safety.

Prerequisites for food safety focus on prerequisite programmes (PRPs) and operational PRPs, highlighting foundational hygiene and safety practices that support effective food safety management systems.

The course concludes with an assessment to consolidate understanding of HACCP awareness and entry-level food safety principles.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
