Basic HACCP Training Schedule

This program is designed to provide the attendees with a working knowledge of HACCP and its supporting programs.

The information will be presented by certified instructors in short, concise lectures. Additionally, attendees will work in small groups to develop a mock HACCP plan and present it to the class for discussion and critique.

Upon successful completion of the course, the attendee will be registered with the International HACCP Alliance and recognized as completing a HACCP training program.
