The HACCP Assessments course is designed to outline the components of a HACCP Audit and to teach the skills necessary to conduct an internal audit of one's own HACCP Program. The AIB HACCP instructors will take students through the various phases of HACCP Auditing, including making assessments of the HACCP preliminary tasks and the seven principles as outlined by Codex Alimentarius. Several workshops are provided throughout the course to allow the participants to practice what they are learning. In addition to evaluating a variety of HACCP Plans for compliance to Codex Alimentarius requirements, the course will provide several tools for Verification and Validation of HACCP Programs that can be applied within their own organizations. Finally, to ensure that planned food safety assessments are complete, the course will provide guidance for conducting internal audits of various prerequisite programs.
