Choosing a food safety training provider should be simple, but the market is crowded with vague claims. Irish HACCP keeps it honest: clear, FSAI-aligned online HACCP Course content, instant verifiable certificates, fair pricing and tools that make it easy to train a whole team. This page sets out exactly what we offer and, just as importantly, what we do not claim.
FSAI-aligned, written for Ireland
Our courses are aligned with the FSAI Guide to Food Safety Training and written around Irish law - Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 and S.I. No. 369/2006 - not generic international content. We are clear that the FSAI does not accredit individual courses, so we never claim to be "FSAI approved". You get accurate, Ireland-specific training you can stand over at inspection.
Instant certificates you can verify
Pass the assessment and download your HACCP certificate immediately, complete with a verifiable reference. No waiting for the post, no booking weeks ahead. For urgent needs, see same-day certificates.
Fair, transparent pricing
Online training should cost a fraction of a classroom day. We publish our pricing openly - compare it in our HACCP course cost guide - with no hidden fees and free assessment retakes.
Built for teams
Training one person is easy; training twenty before an inspection is where most providers fall down. Our team training tools let you enrol staff, track completion and download every certificate from one place. See bulk HACCP training for how it works.
Honest about scope
We tell customers the truth: online training covers the knowledge and awareness food handlers need, but it does not replace your internal procedures, supervision, risk assessments or your duties as an employer. Good training is the foundation of your food safety management system, not the whole of it. That honesty is why food businesses trust us.
Real, useful content
Beyond the course, our HACCP blog covers everything from the 7 HACCP principles to passing an FSAI inspection - practical guidance you can use on your next shift.
What we do not claim
Being honest about what training is not is just as important as selling what it is. We do not claim our courses are "FSAI approved", "QQI", "government approved" or "RoSPA accredited". We do not promise that an online course replaces hands-on, task-specific training, supervision or your legal duties as an employer. And we do not invent reviews or accreditations. What you see is what you get: accurate, FSAI-aligned food safety training with a verifiable certificate.
Who we work with
Irish HACCP is used by independent cafes and restaurants, hotel groups, catering companies, takeaways, bakeries, delis, food trucks and retail food businesses across every county. From a single owner-operator certifying themselves to a multi-site group training hundreds of staff, the platform scales to fit.
Support when you need it
Choosing the right level for each role can be confusing. If you are unsure, our team will help you map your staff to Level 1, 2 or 3 before you buy - just reach out through the contact page. You can also browse the HACCP blog for practical, no-jargon guidance.
Built around Irish food law, not generic content
A lot of online food safety training is generic material written for the UK or US market and lightly relabelled. Ours is written around the Irish context: Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 as applied here, the FSAI Guide to Food Safety Training and its Level 1, 2 and 3 structure, FSAI tools like the Safe Catering pack, and the way Environmental Health Officers actually inspect Irish premises. That relevance matters - your team learns the rules they will be held to, and your certificate reflects the standard an Irish EHO expects to see.
Designed to be finished, not abandoned
Training only counts if people complete it. The course is short, clear and self-paced, works on any phone, tablet or laptop, and lets learners pause and resume around their shifts. Plain language and real kitchen examples keep it engaging rather than dry, and free assessment retakes remove the pressure. The result is high completion rates - which is what you actually need when you are trying to get a whole team certified before an inspection or a busy season.
