Certified HACCP Training

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) Course

Course Description

USDA regulations and GFSI certifications require a HACCP-based approach to developing Food Safety Plans. To achieve this, a thorough understanding of HACCP is essential for individuals responsible for developing, implementing, and maintaining the food safety system. Food Safety and Quality Systems, LLC offers a Certified HACCP Training Course accredited by the International HACCP Alliance.

Objectives

How to use appropriately qualified people to undertake an analysis of the hazards in a process
Identify critical control points (CCPs) at each step in the process and apply critical limits to control identified hazards
Monitor critical limits to ensure the process stays in control
Take corrective or preventative actions when control is compromised
Verify that the HACCP plan is being applied and working as intended
Develop documents and records to demonstrate that the HACCP/Food Safety Plan is operating effectively

Audience

This course is designed for members of the HACCP/Food Safety Team and any individuals performing tasks that require Certified HACCP Training.  This includes food safety professionals, especially those whose facility is certified to any of the GFSI-approved food safety standards (SQF, BRC, FSSC 22000, and IFS). Certified facilities are required to implement an effective Food Safety Plan based on CODEX HACCP requirements.

Instruction Hours

Certified HACCP classes are scheduled 8:00am–4:30pm CST via MS TEAMS.

Training Methodology

This course is interactive and hands-on, based on adult learning theory. It includes presentations, demonstrations, activities, exercises, multimedia tools, and a hands-on evaluation. The exercises can be customized to address the specific requirements of your organization.

We request that participants bring a copy of the current process flow chart, raw material specification, and a finished product specification for an item produced on the same line. During the in-class exercises, we will complete the product descriptions, risk assessments, and hazard analysis for several steps in your process.

There will be a pre-assessment before the start of training, and a post-assessment along with a student evaluation at the end of the training.

This course is delivered by a highly skilled, certified trainer with real world experience in development and implementation of Food Safety systems across multiple food sector categories.
