HACCP Certification Course

With the signing of the Food Safety Modernization Act, many food manufacturers are converting their food safety programs from a HACCP Based System to the Preventive Controls. However, depending on your particular food products and 3rd party auditing scheme, you may still be required to develop and maintain a HACCP Based system.

This course lays the foundation for those with responsibilities for HACCP including the food safety team and those with on-line responsibilities for monitoring critical control points in your process. Each person plays a key role in identifying potentials hazards based on their job and work experience with science-based controls implemented to control those hazards and keep the consumers safe.


The Safe Food Resources Introductory 16-Hour HACCP Course meets the International HACCP Alliance Certification requirements and an official IHA Certificate of Completion with gold seal is awarded upon successful completion of the course and course activities.

"The Safe Food Resources training was a great asset for understanding FDA Preventive Controls regulations for my company.  The PCQI and HACCP courses were in-depth and very well presented in explaining the importance of having a food safety plan in place and the steps required to implement a successful program.  The class structure was such that different ideas from various other sectors of the food supply chain gave a new perspective on programs and ideas for improvement.  While regulations are never glamorous these classes presented them in a unique manner which made understanding them easier.  The course defined how GMP/HACCP/Production/and all the steps in between collectively work together to create a food safety program that works. It was a pleasure to be involved in the discussions and work sessions with other food
professionals working to maintain a safe food supply chain." – Michael J., Applied Materials Solutions
