Level 3 HACCP Training Course

Are you working with food but unsure if your food handling meets safety rules? If so, our online HACCP training will guide you step by step through what you need to know!

Details of the Online HACCP Training

Most food‑safety incidents stem from everyday handling errors such as poor hand‑washing, warm storage, or cross‑contamination. This streamlined yet thorough HACCP course shows you how to spot those hazards before they escalate and introduces practical, science‑based controls that protect every plate, whether you run a street food booth or a nationwide chain.

You will examine the bacteria, viruses, parasites and moulds that cause the greatest harm, the conditions they need to grow, and the rapid interventions that halt them. Video lessons convert complex theory into kitchen‑ready tasks—calibrating probes, rotating stock, rapid cooling and preventing allergen mix‑ups—then guide you in mapping a HACCP plan with clear limits and checks.

Mastering these skills shields staff, reduces waste, and equips you to act decisively at the first hint of danger. The respected certificate boosts career prospects across hospitality, manufacturing and retail. By aligning routines with UK and EU hygiene laws, you turn inspections into straightforward conversations, and your visible commitment to safety turns diners into loyal advocates.

Short case studies show cafés and processors cutting non‑conformities and passing audits, while printable checklists and flowcharts simplify rollout. The self‑paced format lets you train during quiet shifts, revisit modules when regulations change and share certificates instantly. 

Enrol now—a few focused hours today can avert a costly recall tomorrow.
