Description

HACCP Level 1 is designed to provide a thorough and accessible introduction to food safety management, based on the globally adopted HACCP approach. It explores key areas such as hazard control, legal responsibilities, and preventative systems that ensure food is safe from biological, chemical, and physical risks.

Starting with the basics, learners are introduced to the origins and importance of HACCP, why traditional inspection methods alone are insufficient, and how HACCP is driven by both government regulations and customer expectations. The course also explains the international context of HACCP and how it supports brand protection and public trust.

The second module focuses on how to prepare for HACCP implementation. This includes establishing a trained team, aligning with personnel roles, and understanding training requirements. Effective planning is positioned as a core pillar for HACCP success.

In the third module, learners explore food safety hazards in detail, including how to identify them, assess their significance, and implement control measures. A wide range of hazard types is covered, including biological threats (e.g., pathogens and viruses), chemical dangers (e.g., cleaning agents and marine toxins), and physical risks (e.g., foreign object contamination and radiation). This module also addresses organisational factors and how technology influences food safety within the HACCP system.

Module four turns the spotlight to prerequisites for food safety, including sanitation, pest control, allergen management, and supplier quality. It introduces key concepts such as operational PRPs, laboratory use, validation, and verification—showing how HACCP works hand-in-hand with broader Quality Management Systems (QMS) to protect consumers and uphold compliance.

Certification
Upon successful completion of the course, learners will receive an instant, free digital certificate as official recognition of their achievement.
