Official Course Overview

The HACCP Course That Holds Up in a Real Inspection

Everyone in a food business shares responsibility for keeping food safe to eat, even people who never touch it. One lapse in temperature control or one case of cross contamination is enough to make a customer seriously ill. This HACCP Course is written line by line against that law, so the certificate you download at the end stands up in a real inspection instead of just looking good in a folder.

We combine Level 1 and Level 2 into one programme, which is why this is the food safety course most Irish operators send their whole team to. Video, on screen graphics and short interactive checks replace the wall of text you get elsewhere.

Built on
  • Regulation (EC) No 852/2004
  • Hygiene of Foodstuffs Regulations 2020
  • national Guides to Food Safety Training

The three rules that shape your training

  1. Regulation (EC) 852/2004

    Food handlers must be trained

    Food business operators must ensure handlers are supervised, instructed and trained in food hygiene appropriate to their work, and must keep a permanent procedure based on HACCP principles.

  2. Food Safety Levels 1 and 2

    Induction skills, then additional skills

    The national food safety authority training guides set out induction level awareness first, then the extra skills anyone handling, preparing, cooking or serving food needs. This course covers both.

  3. Regulation (EU) 1169/2011

    Allergen information is part of the job

    The 14 named allergens must be declared, and Irish rules govern how that information reaches a customer buying non prepacked food. Allergen control sits inside your HACCP procedures.

  2. Irish food law and risk assessment

    Food law

    Hygiene

    Correct handwashing, sensible glove use, when you must not handle food at all, and the extra care that high risk foods always need.

  5. Deliveries, storage and temperature logs

    Storage

    Checking deliveries on arrival, rotating stock with FIFO, and filling in the daily and weekly temperature records your EHO will ask to see.

  6. Equipment that keeps food safe

    Equipment

    Probe and infrared thermometers, sanitisers, allergen coded utensils and dedicated prep boards, plus how to use and calibrate each one properly.

  7. Your HACCP plan and the 7 principles

    HACCP plan

    Manage the 14 named allergens with colour coded boards, dedicated utensils, clear labelling and honest, confident answers for every customer who asks.

  9. What to do when something goes wrong

    Incidents

    Foreign objects, allergic reactions and product recalls: what to do first, what to write down, and when to contact your EHO.

  10. Final assessment and your certificate

Customer Reviews

HACCP Course Reviews from Our Learners

Let's be honest with you. The internet is full of scam training websites and reviews no real customer wrote. That's why we do the opposite. Every review we have comes from a real person who took a real course with us. No fakes. No hidden feedback. They are all on Google Maps, where we can't edit or rewrite them. Be especially careful with scam websites showing reviews that appear to come from platforms such as Reviews.io. Reviews displayed on their own website may be fake, because the website owner can add, edit or fabricate them directly in the site code. Always verify the business on Google Maps instead. Today, we hold the No.1 spot across Ireland, with more real reviews than any other health and safety training company, built on 30 years of real work at honest prices. You don't have to take our word for it. Just tap the Verify us on Google button below and read every review.

Questions, Answered Plainly

HACCP Course in Ireland, Answered Plainly

The questions workers and employers send us every week about the HACCP Course, the certificate and what the HSA expects, answered without the sales talk.

What does the HACCP Course actually cover?

Everyone in a food business shares responsibility for keeping food safe to eat, even people who never touch it. One lapse in temperature control or one case of cross contamination is enough to make a customer seriously ill. The course takes that risk apart step by step, then shows you the controls that remove it. We combine Level 1 and Level 2 into one programme, which is why this is the food safety course most Irish operators send their whole team to. Video, on screen graphics and short interactive checks replace the wall of text you get elsewhere.

Is HACCP Training a legal requirement in Ireland?

Regulation (EC) 852/2004 is the short answer. Food business operators must ensure handlers are supervised, instructed and trained in food hygiene appropriate to their work, and must keep a permanent procedure based on HACCP principles. Our course is written directly against that wording, which is why it satisfies the duty rather than merely gesturing at it.

Who needs to take the HACCP Course?

Anyone who works with food in Ireland: chefs, kitchen porters, waiters, baristas, deli and supermarket counter staff, food factory operatives, and carers or teachers who serve meals. If you prepare, cook, chill, store or serve food, Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 says you must be trained in food hygiene, and this HACCP Course is the fastest compliant way to get that food safety training done.

How much does the HACCP Course cost?

The HACCP Course is €32.00 per person, and that is the full price. Team bookings get a volume discount applied automatically, with one invoice and one account for all your records.

Can I do the HACCP Course online, on my phone?

Yes, the whole course is online and works on any phone, tablet or laptop. There is no classroom day and no fixed start time: register, log in and begin the HACCP Course whenever it suits you, at home or on a break at work. Progress saves automatically as you go.

How long does the HACCP Course take to complete?

About 1-2 hours, and you do not have to do it in one sitting. Progress saves as you go, so you can stop after a lesson and pick it back up on another device. Your certificate is ready to download the moment you pass.

What certificate do I get, and when do I receive it?

You download your HACCP Course certificate as a PDF the moment you pass the exam, day or night. It shows your name, the course, the date and a verification link, so an employer or inspector can confirm it in seconds. A copy stays in your account whenever you need to print it again.

How long is the certificate valid in Ireland?

Renewal is recommended every three years, or sooner if your role, menu or operation changes. We track the date for you and send a reminder before it lapses, so no certificate in your team expires without anyone noticing. The refresher is the same short online course, so staying compliant never costs a working day.

What happens if I fail the exam?

Nothing bad. You can retake the exam as many times as you need at no extra cost, and you can revisit any lesson before trying again. Most learners pass first time, because the questions test exactly what the course just taught.

Is the practical assessment included?

This course is assessed by examination rather than by a practical, because the competence it builds is judgement rather than technique. You get unlimited attempts at the exam, at no extra cost.

Can I book this course for my whole team?

Yes, and the platform is built for it. One company account covers every employee, shows you at a glance who has finished and who has not, stores every certificate in one place and gives you a single invoice for the lot. Group bookings get the volume discount applied automatically in your cart.

Will employers and inspectors accept the certificate?

They do. We are an official accredited provider and the certificate carries a verification link an inspector can check in seconds. It is accepted by employers in Ireland, the UK and across the EU, and behind it stand our accreditations: HSA Compliant, QQI Assessed, CPD and RoSPA Accredited.

What is the difference between HACCP Level 1 and Level 2?

Level 1 is induction food safety training for new staff, and Level 2 adds the extra skills the national food safety authority expects from anyone who handles, prepares, cooks or serves food. This HACCP Course combines Level 1 and Level 2 in one online programme, so you finish with the full set of food hygiene skills and one HACCP certificate that covers both levels.

Is this HACCP training accepted in Ireland and health inspectors?

Yes. The course is written against the national Guides to Food Safety Training and Regulation (EC) No 852/2004, and the certificate carries a verification link an Environmental Health Officer can check during an inspection. It is the same HACCP training thousands of Irish restaurants, cafes, delis, takeaways and food producers use for their teams.
