Before you book
The questions we get every day.
Answered here so you don't have to wait on an email. New to HACCP? Read What is HACCP? first.
Which course do I need to work in a kitchen?
For most kitchen, counter and food preparation jobs, employers ask for HACCP Level 1 & 2. If you only serve or carry food, Level 1 covers it. The person who runs the HACCP system needs Level 3.
How fast can I get a certificate?
Buy the online course and start straight away. Level 1 & 2 takes about 160 minutes, Knife Safety 20 minutes, and the certificate is issued the moment you pass the test.
Is Guardian Safety accredited?
Guardian Safety is a CPD accredited training centre. HACCP Level 1, Level 2 and Level 1 & 2 carry CPD credits, and all our food safety courses are mapped to the FSAI guidelines on food safety training.
Can you train my whole team?
Yes. A Guardian trainer for up to 12 people at your premises from €495, at our Dublin centre for €100 a day more, a live virtual classroom, or online licences for everyone. See the For Business page for group prices.
How long does a certificate last?
Three years for HACCP Level 1, 2 and 1 & 2, five years for Level 3. Take the course again before it expires for a new certificate.
What if I fail the test?
Take it again as many times as you need until you pass, at no extra cost.
