Entry Requirements & Learning Assistance
Whilst not essential, it will be much easier for delegates if they have previously attended a Food Handling Course – Category B, implementing the requirements of S.L.449.24, and are able to read and write fluently. Should any delegate have any learning difficulties, please advise the trainer(s) in order to allow them to discuss how they may help you reach the course objectives.
Course Objectives
This aim of this three-day course is to give delegates a good knowledge of HACCP principles, their application, management and control. By the end of the course delegates should be able to construct process flow diagrams, conduct a hazard analysis, establish critical control points using the decision tree, and manage a food-related complaint.
