What Is HACCP Certification Training?

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is the science-based system for identifying food safety hazards and controlling them at critical points in production. HACCP training teaches food safety professionals how to develop, implement and maintain a HACCP plan, following the 12-step approach and seven principles set out by the Codex Alimentarius.

Kiwa ASI's HACCP course is accredited by the International HACCP Alliance (IHA) and taught live on Zoom: 16 contact hours over four half-day sessions, with hands-on exercises in hazard analysis, CCP determination, critical limits and HACCP plan documentation. It's a general food HACCP course for manufacturing, processing and packaging operations.

Live, not pre-recorded.

Every session is taught in real time by an experienced food safety instructor. You can ask about your own products and processes, and work through HACCP plan development with expert guidance. Attendance at all four sessions is required.

  • 16 Contact Hours

    Four half-day sessions, 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM Central Time, so you don't lose full days away from your facility.

  • IHA Accredited

    Accredited by the International HACCP Alliance and taught under an IHA-approved lead instructor. You receive a Certificate of Completion bearing the IHA seal.

  • Codex-Based

    The 12-step Codex approach and all seven HACCP principles, from hazard analysis to record keeping.

  • Hands-On

What You'll Learn: The Seven HACCP Principles

The course follows the Codex Alimentarius approach: the preliminary steps (assembling the HACCP team, describing the product and its intended use, and building and confirming a flow diagram), then the seven principles below, with hands-on exercises for each.

  1. Step 1: Hazard analysis

    Conduct a hazard analysis and identify control measures.

  2. Step 2: Critical control points

    Determine the critical control points (CCPs).

  3. Step 3: Critical limits

    Establish validated critical limits.

  4. Step 4: Monitoring

    Establish a system to monitor control of CCPs.

  5. Step 5: Corrective actions

    Establish the corrective actions to take when monitoring shows a deviation from a critical limit at a CCP.

  6. Step 6: Validation and verification

    Validate the HACCP plan, then establish procedures for verification to confirm that the HACCP system is working as intended.

  7. Step 7: Documentation

    Establish documentation for all procedures and records appropriate to these principles and their application.

Principles as worded in the Codex General Principles of Food Hygiene (CXC 1-1969, last revised in 2022), which sets out HACCP in 12 steps: five preliminary steps, then the seven principles.

Which HACCP Training Requirements Does This Course Meet?

HACCP training is required in different ways by certification schemes and regulations. Here's where this general food HACCP course fits.

  • SQF Practitioners

    SQF Food Safety Code

    Edition 9 (2.1.1.5) requires the SQF Practitioner to have completed a HACCP training course, and Part A describes that training as at least two days and assessed. Edition 10 (2.1.1.5, 2.4.3.2) also requires the HACCP team leader to be HACCP trained.

  • HACCP team leaders

    BRCGS Food Safety

    Issue 9 (2.1.1) expects the HACCP team leader to have in-depth knowledge of Codex HACCP principles and to demonstrate competence, experience and training. No specific course is named.

  • HACCP teams

    IFS Food and FSSC 22000

    IFS Food v8 (2.3.1.2) requires appropriate training in applying the HACCP principles, and FSSC 22000 (ISO 22000, 7.2) requires a competent food safety team. Neither names a specific course.

  • 9 CFR 417.7

    USDA Meat, Poultry and Egg Products

    9 CFR 417.7 requires training in applying the seven principles to meat, poultry or egg products processing, including plan development for a specific product and record review. FSIS doesn't approve courses, so ask us about your products before you enroll.

  • 21 CFR 123 and 120

    FDA Seafood and Juice HACCP

    21 CFR 123.10 and 120.13 require training in applying HACCP to seafood or juice processing, equivalent to FDA-recognized curricula. This general course doesn't meet them, and Kiwa ASI doesn't currently offer seafood or juice HACCP training.

  • 21 CFR 117

    FSMA Preventive Controls (PCQI)

    The PCQI rule (21 CFR 117.180) calls for training in risk-based preventive controls, such as the FSPCA course, or equivalent job experience. HACCP training alone doesn't make you a PCQI.

IHA certificates don't expire, but some auditors and customers expect refresher HACCP training every few years.

Frequently Asked Questions About HACCP Training

What is HACCP training and why do I need it?

HACCP training teaches food safety professionals how to develop, implement and maintain a HACCP plan based on the seven principles in the Codex Alimentarius General Principles of Food Hygiene. GFSI certification schemes expect documented HACCP training: SQF requires its practitioners to complete a HACCP training course, and BRCGS expects the HACCP team leader to show HACCP training, competence and experience. FDA and USDA also require HACCP plans for seafood, juice, and meat, poultry and egg products processing.

Is Kiwa ASI's HACCP course accredited?

Yes. Kiwa ASI's HACCP course is accredited by the International HACCP Alliance (IHA), which reviews HACCP training programs against its own curriculum and instructor criteria. IHA-accredited courses are taught under the direction of an IHA-approved lead instructor.

What certificate do I receive?

Participants who complete the course receive a HACCP Certificate of Completion bearing the International HACCP Alliance seal, emailed within one week. IHA certificates don't expire, though some auditors and customers expect refresher HACCP training every few years.

How long is the HACCP training course?

The course provides 16 contact hours over four consecutive half-day sessions, 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM Central Time each day. The half-day format lets you train without taking full days away from your facility. Attendance at all four sessions is required.

Is the HACCP course live or self-paced?

Live. Kiwa ASI's HACCP training is taught in real time on Zoom, not pre-recorded, so you can ask questions, discuss scenarios and work through HACCP plan development with expert guidance. Camera and microphone are required.

How much does HACCP training cost?

Does this course meet FDA seafood or juice HACCP training requirements?

No. FDA's seafood (21 CFR 123.10) and juice (21 CFR 120.13) HACCP rules require training in applying HACCP to seafood or juice processing, at least equivalent to FDA-recognized standardized curricula. This is a general food HACCP course, and Kiwa ASI doesn't currently offer seafood or juice HACCP training.

Does it meet USDA meat and poultry HACCP training requirements?

USDA's rule (9 CFR 417.7) requires training in applying the seven HACCP principles to meat, poultry or egg products processing, including developing a HACCP plan for a specific product and reviewing records. FSIS doesn't approve specific courses; each establishment decides whether training meets the rule. Contact us about your products before you enroll.

Does HACCP training meet the SQF Practitioner requirement?

The SQF Code requires the SQF Practitioner to have completed a HACCP training course (Edition 9, 2.1.1.5), and Edition 10 also requires the HACCP team leader to be HACCP trained. Many practitioners pair HACCP training with Implementing SQF Systems. See training requirements.

What is the difference between HACCP training and PCQI training?

HACCP training focuses on the seven HACCP principles and HACCP plan development. PCQI training covers FSMA's Preventive Controls for Human Food rule (21 CFR 117), including hazard analysis plus supply-chain, allergen, sanitation and recall controls. Many professionals need both, and Kiwa ASI offers both courses; see PCQI training.
