Qualification Purpose

This qualification is designed to develop and assess knowledge and understanding of HACCP supervisory management. It is critical that those involved in the supervision of HACCP in manufacturing, catering, retail or warehousing and logistics have the necessary understanding to ensure that consumers have confidence in the safety of food for public sale and consumption. HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) is a management system that helps business operators look at how they handle food and introduces procedures to make sure the food produced is safe to eat.

Learners will develop the essential knowledge and understanding to make a positive contribution to ensuring that the supervision of the HACCP system is properly understood and controlled in the workplace to protect consumers. It is imperative that learners have the knowledge and understanding to ensure our food products, which millions of people consume every day, are safe. The qualification assesses and recognises learned knowledge and understanding.
