Our Food Safety Courses

Basic Food Safety Training (HACCP Level 1)

Our Basic Food Safety Training (Level 1) is essential for all new food handlers entering the food industry in Ireland. This fully CPD-accredited course covers the fundamentals of food hygiene, cross-contamination prevention, safe food handling, and basic legal requirements. In line with Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) guidelines, staff must complete Level 1 Stage 1 training before starting work and Stage 2 within one month of employment. This course is delivered entirely online, can be completed in approximately one hour, and provides instant access to your certificate upon successful completion — allowing you to meet essential compliance requirements quickly and conveniently.

Primary Food Safety Training (HACCP Level 2)

Primary Food Safety Training (Level 2) builds on the basics of Level 1 by providing a deeper understanding of food hazards, critical control points (CCPs), hygiene practices, and detailed compliance with Irish food safety legislation. This CPD-accredited course is essential for supervisors, chefs, and food handlers working in both high-risk and low-risk food environments. According to FSAI guidelines, employees must complete Level 2 training within three to six months if working in high-risk areas, or within six to twelve months for lower-risk roles. Delivered fully online and accessible 24/7, this course typically takes about one hour and twenty-five minutes to complete, with immediate certification available upon completion.

Our Comprehensive Food Safety Training Course combines both Level 1 and Level 2 into a single, efficient program that ensures full compliance with Irish food safety training requirements. Designed for individuals and teams who need both foundational and advanced training, this course aligns with the FSAI’s structured approach to staff food safety development. Participants will cover everything from essential food hygiene basics to advanced hazard management and legal compliance.
