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 Food Safety Training Guidance

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

    National food safety training guidance sets 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.

  1. Introduction to HACCP and Food Safety Legislation

    Foundations

    What HACCP is, why every food business in Ireland must keep a procedure based on it, and your duties under Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 and national food safety training guidance.

  2. Microbial Hazards and Food Contamination

    Hazards

    Bacteria, viruses and the conditions they love: the temperature danger zone, high risk foods, and how quickly one lapse turns into foodborne illness.

  3. Food Safety Hazards and Cross Contamination

    Safe practice

    Biological, chemical, physical and allergenic hazards, and the daily routines that block them: keep foods apart, clean as you go and handle food safely at every step.

  4. Prerequisite Programmes for HACCP

    Prerequisites

    Personal hygiene, cleaning schedules, pest control, deliveries, storage and stock rotation: the ground rules that must be in place before a HACCP plan can work.

  5. Creating a HACCP System

    HACCP plan

    How to build a HACCP system for your own operation: map the process from delivery to service, then decide where food safety is won or lost along the way.

  6. The Seven Principles: Hazard Analysis

    The 7 principles

    Hazard analysis, critical control points and critical limits: the first principles of HACCP, applied to real kitchen tasks rather than abstract diagrams.

  7. The Seven Principles: Monitoring and Verification

    Records

    Monitoring, corrective action, verification and the records your EHO will ask to see. Finish this module and the final exam unlocks: pass it and your certificate downloads straight away.

100% Real Verified Reviews

A Word Between Friends

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. One last thing, friend to friend: scammers have recently created a website with a name very similar to ours. Our official name is Ireland Safety Training, while a website called "Ireland Safety Courses" has appeared in Google Ads. It is not affiliated with us in any way. Our lawyers are already collecting the necessary evidence and preparing legal proceedings. Until then, please stay careful and always verify who you are dealing with.

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.

How much does the HACCP Course cost?

The HACCP Course is €35.00 per person, and that is the full price. Team bookings get a volume discount applied automatically, and any 5 different courses cost just €100 flat (except our premium HACCP Level 3 and Health and Safety for Managers courses, which keep their own price), 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 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, and any 5 different courses cost just €100 flat (except our premium HACCP Level 3 and Health and Safety for Managers courses, which keep their own price).

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.
