There is a difference between following a HACCP plan and owning one. The person who owns it decides where the hazards are, justifies the critical control points, defends the validation when a customer's auditor pushes back, and holds the line when a deviation happens on a Friday night shift. That is a Level 4 job.
This advanced programme equips participants with the skills to develop, implement and maintain HACCP systems in compliance with global food safety standards including Codex Alimentarius, ISO 22000 and BRCGS. Across four days it combines theory, case studies and practical exercises to build a thorough command of the HACCP principles, so participants leave ready for real food safety problems rather than exam questions.
Course Objectives
Course Content
Taught through practice: practical exercises, real-world case studies, hazard analysis activities and group discussion run through the four days, with assessment activities built into the programme.
Key Benefits
The principles and their application at the level where judgement is required.
The ability to identify and control food safety hazards effectively, not generically.
An understanding of the international standards and regulatory requirements that apply.
Stronger leadership skills for managing and guiding a HACCP team.
A HACCP Level 4 certificate on successful completion of the programme.
Choosing
Your job is to audit a HACCP system that someone else designed: planning, conducting and reporting internal audits of it. That is a two-day course.
Your job is to own the system: designing it, validating it, leading the team and answering for it when it is challenged. That is this course.
Not sure? Tell our team what you are responsible for signing and we will tell you honestly which of the two fits, rather than selling you the longer one.
