HACCP Certification FAQ
What is HACCP?
HACCP is a gateway system for food safety. If you can understand that a pedestrian gate will probably only stop the dog from getting out, whilst a castle gate has a lot more controls and therefore should stop an entire army, then you can probably get your head around HACCP. HACCP is about identifying potential food safety and quality hazards and then deciding what type of gate you need to put in place – do I need a pedestrian gate or a castle with a moat, draw bridge, high, thick walls and guards with bows and arrows?
Can I write my own HACCP plan?
Yes, but without training and classroom support it is likely to become a frustrating experience once the training is over. HACCP Principles and Applications is the standard industry course that covers how to write, implement and monitor a HACCP plan. We supply the templates to allow you to write the plan and pre-requisite programs that you will take to audit. Businesses usually decide to write the HACCP plan if they have the time. If not, we can write it for you and provide you with the necessary support to get you through the audit.
What will I learn in HACCP Principles and Applications training?
We keep it real! We will teach you how to write up a HACCP Plan – we give you HACCP templates to give you a head start and you will get to write some of your HACCP Plan up in the class. On the first day, we review the Food Standards Code, explain how bacteria and other pathogens grow in food. As a class, we find why you can’t legally sell hash cookies or ‘road kill’. We work through lots of examples from Packing Sheds through to small manufacturers to catering and high risk processing. On the second day, we build a HACCP Plan together as a class, based on one of the participant’s business.
We keep our class sizes small. We drive healthy class discussion to keep you awake and to keep it relevant. It means you can get lots of real life examples from us and your classmates that you can use when you get back to work. There is plenty of time to ask specific questions about your business. If you need HACCP Certification – please give us a call on 1300 404 505 – We are more than happy to explain the process to you over the phone.
Why would I want to do HACCP Introductory training?
This short 2-hour workshop is designed for those looking to find out more about HACCP certification and what it can lead to without committing to a longer training course or implementing HACCP Certification in their business. It is a useful first step to find out why a business would decide to proceed down the path of HACCP Certification.
What if I already have a HACCP Plan?
Bring your existing plan (or Freshcare manual) as a hardcopy with you, we encourage you to mark it up and ask questions about it on the second day. It will count as part of your HACCP review towards your next audit. For our participants preparing for Freshcare-HARPS, we will show you how HACCP has been embedded into the Freshcare manual.
Why do I need HACCP Certification for my business when I have a HACCP training certificate?
HACCP Certification covers a food business at a specific location. A HACCP training certificate is for a person working at a food business. HACCP training is not a mandatory requirement of certification, although it is useful to have undertaken HACCP training. Many standards such as SQF and BRC specify two days of training for HACCP team leaders. A HACCP course conducted by a Registered Training Organisation will also include Units of Competency, a requirement of some standards and an indicator of quality. QMS Audits Training is an RTO (ID 45344).
