Level 3 Award in HACCP for Catering

This qualification further expands on the fundamentals of the Level 2 Award in HACCP for Catering. It is suitable for supervisors, managers, chefs, trainers and HACCP team members employed within a catering environment.

Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 requires that ‘those responsible for the development and maintenance of the HACCP system have received adequate training in the application of the HACCP principles’.

This qualification will provide candidates with the knowledge to develop, implement and maintain a food safety management system based on Codex HACCP principles, in a catering environment. They will understand the legal requirements pertaining to HACCP and the flexibility allowed, the importance of prerequisite programmes and the role of supervisors in monitoring, taking corrective action, completing and checking documentation and verifying and reviewing the HACCP system.

It is recommended that candidates have completed a Level 3 Award in Food Safety, or the equivalent, before attending this course.

This qualification is achieved by taking a 2 day course and assessed through a 1 hour, 30 question multiple choice examination. Learners must achieve 18 correct answers in order to pass, and they will receive a merit if a mark of 24 is achieved.
