What will I learn in the HACCP 1 Workshop?

This intensive training class is designed to train you or your staff using a total quality management approach to HACCP Certification using International Codex HACCP guidelines and compliance. It will bring you up to date on current food codes and what WARFA believes is forthcoming.

During the workshop, WARFA will introduce you to a fantastic new HACCP process that can combine many of your separate HACCP plans into a more comprehensive format. You will learn HACCP principles through total quality management. All of these principles are given through practical professional culinary principles.

You will learn the basics of Due Diligence and how to make the HACCP recipe (formula) work for you. This will save you time and money on unnecessary paperwork and expensive consulting bills, and simplifies new food items as you add them to your establishment. You will receive complete food safety training for manager, chef and supervisor level, including basic HACCP, overview and quiz.

WARFA’s interactive training gives you a chance to be involved with the group to help you achieve your goal of writing or updating your HACCP plan. This is your final test. When completed, you will be graded on a “pass or fail” basis to receive your HACCP Certification.

What is included in the training?

What will I learn in the HACCP 2 Workshop?

HACCP2, Wholesale & Retail Food Alliance’s Advanced HACCP Course, is for those who already have HACCP certification, work with HACCP Plans in industry, or need to inspect, oversee, maintain or understand HACCP systems or plans. It includes training in Inspections and Audits. The course requires previous HACCP certification or a working knowledge of HACCP and its controls.

The course is great if you want to refine processes or understand new and different process controls, making YOU the process authority. It is good for Health Inspectors, not limiting inspection to just floors, walls and ceilings. Most audits are not as focused on processes, so this course will make you a professional and confirm your processes through these audits. It will help you to not only pass inspections but also provide you with the tools leading to continual improvement through 0 defects, making YOU the HACCP authority.

Highlights:

• Quality Training and Certification since 1982
• Author of coursework: O. Peter Snyder, Ph.D., one of the founders of HACCP

What is included in the training?

• Training in Inspections and Audits. Learn how to perform internal and external audits. We will teach you how to use model inspection forms, both from the Internet and our own forms, which will give you the tools and knowledge to create your own.
• Learn how to have 0 defects for internal inspections and how to be constructive when improvement is needed.
• Learn how to eliminate major rewrites. HACCP plans can be written many ways and still have the 7 basic principles, thus eliminating major rewrites requested by auditors and inspectors. Portions of the HACCP program may include a separate SSOP manual and other related HACCP documents.HACCP 2 provides demonstrations you can use to help train employees or new HACCP team members or associates. It re-enforces the basic controls you need to use in everyday HACCP and keeps you up to date on the current food code. We have and share several models of HACCP plans that may simplify or improve your current plan. We also provide interaction with the instructor and other people who are attending the workshop.
