Basic Seafood HACCP Courses
Training in Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) is mandated for the seafood processors by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Basic HACCP courses teach the principles of HACCP and empower processors to develop HACCP plans specific for each seafood product they handle or produce.
This course can be taken by choosing one of two options —
Basic Seafood HACCP: Instructor lead training
This training is available in-person.
This is a 16-hour, combined Segment One and Segment Two course to be taken over 2 to 4 days, taught by a Seafood HACCP Alliance instructor. These courses are scheduled at the instructor’s convenience throughout the year. There is no set schedule for upcoming courses.
If you cannot locate a course in your area, please check back weekly for an updated schedule.
You will get your Certificate of Course Completion after finishing these courses: Segment Two, Basic HACCP, and Sanitation Control Procedures.
Option 2 is a two-part course that includes on-demand (Segment One) and virtual, live or in-person (Segment Two) training taught by a Seafood HACCP Alliance instructor.
Segment One:
Self-Paced Online Training
This training is self-paced, and online.
The Seafood HACCP Alliance Internet training course was developed to provide an alternative way for individuals from the seafood industry and regulatory community to get training on the application of HACCP principles to seafood products when they need it.
The Cornell University Internet course was updated in September of 2020 to be consistent with the latest FDA guidance. If interested in accessing the course in Spanish, please contact Dr. Michael Ciaramella at mc2544@cornell.edu.
After completing all 36 Segment One knowledge assessments, you’ll receive an automated email within 24 hours with instructions for accessing your “Notice of Segment One Completion” via eCornell’s Student Portal.
This notice confirms your completion of the Seafood HACCP Alliance online training and serves as your “ticket” to attend the Segment Two one-day live training.
Segment Two:
Instructor-Lead Practical Training
This training is available in-person or virtually.
In light of the extended travel restrictions and social distancing restrictions, the Seafood HACCP alliance (SHA) Virtual Committee has decided to amend its current policy for Seafood HACCP Segment Two Training Courses. The SHA believes it is imperative that courses be available, provided in a high-quality manner, and that they do not increase public health risks. IMPORTANT: Must have Segment One Course Completion Notice from Cornell University to attend.
