Level 2 & 3 HACCP Training and First Aid Package

This Level 2 HACCP Training Package is suitable for food industry workers and managers, it provides the knowledge required by EU food hygiene legislation. This first aid training course aims to provide learners with an overview of how to act safely in the event of an incident.

This training package comprises the following topics:

Level 2 HACCP teaches learners about the HACCP regulations for the management of food safety. It is designed to ensure that food handlers know how to comply with the HACCP Food Hygiene guidelines and can confidently implement food safety practices in their workplace.

Level 3 HACCP provides food supervisors and managers with the training they need to implement a successful HACCP system in their workplace. Those trained to Level 3 are able to successfully introduce and monitor food safety regulations, and ensure that employees are suitably trained and competent to work to internationally recognised HACCP standards.

The First Aid Primary Survey course teaches learners to follow the Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines for basic to advanced life support training. Learners will know what to do if they are first on the scene of an incident, how to assess the situation as a potential danger zone and understand the importance of the recovery position and how it should be correctly applied.
