Food Safety Certification
for Managers, Chefs and Supervisors

HACCP 1 Certification (online or workshop oriented)

Food Safety Certification for Managers, Chefs and Supervisors


Food safety certification is the core to "understanding the language" and concepts of food safety needed to start your HACCP training. It is the prerequisite to Retail Food Alliance's HACCP 1 course which uses these concepts and language exclusively.

This course introduces you to the hazards and controls you will be facing in order to make a HACCP plan work. You will need this course to prepare yourself to create a proper risk and hazard analysis for a HACCP system. You must have food safety certification training, or equivalent, first. The course will also prepare you to take either the Thomson Prometric (formerly Experior Assessments) CPFM test or the test for ServSafe manager's certification.

HACCP 1 Certification - online or workshop training on location


After successfully passing RFA's FSC course above (or equivalent), you are ready for HACCP 1 certification. This course introduces the HACCP recipe (the key to the HACCP process whether your operation is a simple hot dog stand or a huge sausage plant) and teaches you how to write (or rewrite) and implement your HACCP systems plan. We train you in retail HACCP and then show you how to use the portions you need for your operation, be it a processor storage facility or a farm. The menu or item you produce will determine what recipe you will need to use to create the product(s) in your operation. Processes are grouped, then recipes are categorized under the processes.

After we train you, if you have a new item, you may not need to rewrite large portions of your HACCP plan if you are using the HACCP recipe or formula that we teach you. For example, you may be a meat processor and you want to add cured and smoked hams. You will just need to add a HACCP recipe and most all of the other HACCP plan will stay in place. Basic science is covered in this course.

The online HACCP coursework covers basically all the materials covered in the HACCP workshop. You have the advantage of studying at your convenience and at your own pace. The advantages of registering for the HACCP workshop are that a) you will have in-person support to help start your plan on the second day and b) some people learn better in person rather than taking courses online. The choice is yours.
