HACCP Awareness

It is for food handlers, production and quality staff, supervisors and HACCP team members in food businesses such as manufacturers, caterers, kitchens and food storage operations. It helps every person understand the hazards in their work and the controls that keep food safe. No prior knowledge of HACCP is needed, so it suits new starters as well as experienced staff who need a refresher.

It covers why food hygiene and HACCP matter; the Codex General Principles of Food Hygiene (CXC 1-1969) and its two parts, good hygiene practices and HACCP; management commitment and food safety culture; biological, chemical and physical hazards; the seven HACCP principles and the steps to apply them; critical control points, critical limits, monitoring and corrective actions; and validation, verification and records.

It is a set of short video modules, each followed by practice questions, and a final exam. The course page shows the number of modules and the approximate video runtime; allow additional time for the practice questions and the exam. With 12 months of access, learners can complete it in one sitting or over several sessions.

Yes. Learners who reach the 70% pass mark in the final exam receive a Sterling Academy Certificate of Completion for HACCP Awareness Training. Each certificate carries a unique number and a QR code, and anyone can check it online using the certificate number and the holder's surname. It is a training certificate for the individual learner.

Yes. HACCP Awareness Training is a self-paced online course made of short video modules, in English with captions. You study at your own pace during 12 months of access, and practice questions after modules help you check your understanding before the final exam. If a point is unclear, questions are answered by a Sterling consultant.

HACCP Awareness Training is US$19 per learner. Teams save 20% for 11 to 50 learners and 30% for 51 to 200 learners; 201 or more learners are priced on request. Client administrators can track their team's progress. Prices are in US dollars, excluding taxes, and Sterling confirms final pricing and enrolment.

No. The Certificate of Completion is a training certificate: it shows that one person completed HACCP Awareness Training and reached the pass mark in its final exam. HACCP is a food safety method described by Codex Alimentarius, not a certificate an organisation gains through training, and Sterling does not certify organisations. Where an organisation seeks recognition of its HACCP system, that comes from the relevant authority or an independent certification body after its own audit.
