Course Content

1. Flow Chart – Pasta Production

Go beyond simple flow diagrams. Learn how to map out real, detailed processes — like pasta — to identify critical control points with accuracy.

2. Scenario: Metal Piece in Product

Step into a real-world crisis. You’ll learn how to trace the source, manage the incident, and prevent future contamination.

3. Hazard Analysis That Goes Deeper

Learn how to assess and prioritize hazards with more than checklists — with real data, real outcomes, and real understanding.

4. Validation of CCPs

Explore how to prove that the critical limits you set at your Critical Control Points effectively control hazards — with scientific, data-driven validation.

5. Validation vs Verification

Understand the difference between these two essentials (but often confused) processes — and how to apply both correctly.

6. Role of Internal Audits

Internal audits aren’t just a box to tick. Learn how to use them as a tool for growth, improvement, and early detection.

7. Examples of PRPs (Prerequisite Programs)

Cleaning, pest control, personal hygiene — see how these foundational programs hold your HACCP system together.

8. Hazard Severity & Likelihood

Not all hazards are equal. You’ll learn how to assess both the severity and likelihood of hazards — and apply this to prioritize control measures in your HACCP system.

9. Scenario: No Temperature Record

Discover what to do when key documentation is missing. How to respond, investigate, and protect your business from penalties.

10. Inspection Documentation

Be inspection-ready, always. Learn what documentation you need, how to organize it, and how to confidently present it during audits.
