HACCP Level 2 for Catering and Retail Online Course
Learn the seven principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points with this CPD accredited HACCP Level 2 course, designed for food handlers and supervisors working in catering, hospitality, and retail environments. HACCP is a systematic approach to food safety management that is recognised internationally and required under EU retained law (EC Regulation 852/2004) for all food businesses operating in the UK. This course provides a thorough grounding in how HACCP works in practice, covering hazard identification and analysis, the establishment of critical control points, setting critical limits, monitoring procedures, corrective actions, verification processes, and documentation and record-keeping requirements. You will learn how to apply these principles within your own workplace to identify potential food safety risks and implement effective controls to prevent contamination, bacterial growth, and other hazards. HACCP Level 2 is often taken alongside a Food Hygiene Level 2 qualification and is increasingly expected by environmental health officers during food safety inspections. Upon completion, you will receive a CPD accredited certificate that demonstrates your understanding of HACCP principles — recognised by employers and regulatory bodies across the UK. This fully online course is self-paced, allowing you to fit your learning around your work schedule and complete it from any device.

Frequently Asked Questions
HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points. It is a systematic approach to food safety that identifies potential hazards in food production and establishes controls to prevent them. HACCP training teaches you how to identify risks, set critical limits, monitor processes, and keep proper records.
Food Hygiene Level 2 introduces HACCP principles briefly, but a dedicated HACCP Level 2 course covers hazard analysis and critical control points in much greater depth. Many employers and auditors expect separate HACCP training, especially in businesses with formal HACCP plans. Both courses are included in your £29 licence.
HACCP Level 2 typically takes 3-4 hours to complete online. You can study at your own pace and return to the course whenever suits you during your 12-month access period.
UK food safety law requires food businesses to have food safety management procedures based on HACCP principles. While the law does not specify a particular qualification, HACCP training is the recognised way to demonstrate compliance. Auditors and environmental health officers expect to see evidence of HACCP knowledge.
