Level 2 Award in Understanding HACCP online course
This online course has been created to cover the requirements of the RSPH Level 2 Award in Understanding HACCP qualification and the principles of a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) based system, which many staff employed in food businesses (manufacturing, catering and retail) will need to know.
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a food safety system that helps businesses to keep the food they prepare safe and hygienic. All managers, supervisors and team leaders, who are responsible for the smooth and safe running of a kitchen, should know how to put together and implement a HACCP-based system.
The Level 2 Award in Understanding HACCP covers the principles of HACCP that all kitchens that prepare and serve customers food, and meat in particular, need to know. It will give learners the skills and confidence to put systems in place to make sure that their food is cooked safely and efficiently. This course is a straight-forward and effective introduction to the concept of HACCP and how to develop procedures for food preparation which comply with the law.
The course has been designed by our tutors to make the whole learning experience engaging, straightforward and painless. Similarly, the learning material is interactive, split into manageable bite-size sections and created to be as flexible as possible, to fit around your busy schedule!
