HACCP Level 2 Training Course

Overview

Food businesses, including food manufacturers and caterers, have a moral and legal obligation to ensure that they produce safe food.

Failure to do so can cause significant damage to a business's reputation and finances and may result in legal action being taken against them. Having an effective food hygiene and safety management system in place is essential to prevent this from happening. It also demonstrates your business's commitment to producing food that is safe to consume.

What is HACCP Level 2 certification and why is it important?

HACCP Level 2 certification is a food industry safety standard that ensures proper hazard analysis and critical control points are identified and managed in food handling. It's important as it helps prevent foodborne illnesses, enhances consumer trust, and ensures compliance with food safety regulations.

After completing the Level 2 online course content, learners will understand:

• What a HACCP plan is and the benefits of completing one.
• How to correctly complete a HACCP study.
• How to implement a HACCP plan once completed.
• What the 7 HACCP principles are.
• What is a critical control point.

Further Training

Alongside this HACCP course, we recommended that all food workers complete one of our Level 2 Food Safety for Catering, Level 2 Food Safety for Retail or Level 2 Food Safety for Manufacturing courses. These courses cover a range of information on food safety and hygiene in food establishments. We also offer a Level 2 TACCP and VACCP Training course, which covers the creation of a food defence management system.

Duration

It takes approximately 60 minutes to complete the course in full. Learners can work at their own pace. The course can be spread out over multiple sessions or completed in a single session. There is no time limit for completion.

Assessment

All candidates must complete a multiple-choice assessment after working through the training material. The candidate will be asked 16 multiple-choice questions and need to achieve a pass mark of 12 correctly answered questions to pass. Candidates will be given instant feedback after completing the assessment, stating whether they have passed or failed. The assessment can be retaken as many times as is required to pass at no additional cost.

Module Summary

Successful candidates will receive a Institute of Hospitality Certificate and 1 CPD Credit.

This certificate is accepted by local authorities as proof of training.

There is no expiry date on the certificate as there is no formally recognised requirement for re-training, but we recommend that some form of re-training is completed every 3 years. More information on refresher training can be found here.
