Build a CCP System That Delivers Real Control

A focused, on-demand training to strengthen monitoring, deviation handling, and verification of Critical Control Points in daily practice.

Many CCP systems look correct on paper but fail under pressure. Limits are defined, but monitoring is inconsistent. Deviations are recorded, but root causes are unclear. Verification is planned, but not performed effectively. As a result, companies react during audits instead of demonstrating control. This training helps QA professionals build a clear, defensible CCP management approach that supports real hazard control. You learn what a CCP truly requires, what documentation must demonstrate, and how to distinguish a real CCP from an over-classified control point. The training explains how to manage CCP deviations correctly, how to make sound product disposition decisions, and how to strengthen verification so you can prove ongoing effectiveness. You also learn to recognise common pitfalls and auditor red flags related to weak CCP management β€” not to overcomplicate your HACCP plan, but to demonstrate that your critical hazards are genuinely under control. Using practical examples and a structured review approach, this training supports a repeatable, audit-ready CCP management system that aligns with GFSI expectations and real-life operations.

What our Clients say:

QA, RA, and R&D professionals share how this training helped them avoid compliance pitfalls and stay audit-ready.

β€œWe thought our CCP system was solid β€” until we reviewed it using the principles from this training. It became clear that some control points were over-classified, while deviation handling lacked depth. The training helped us strengthen our decision-making and clarify product disposition after a failure.”

QA Manager, Food Manufacturing

Elena M.

β€œWhat stood out most was the explanation of verification. We realised we were monitoring our CCPs, but not truly verifying effectiveness. After applying the structure from this training, our documentation became stronger and more aligned with audit expectations.”

Quality & Food Safety Lead, Dairy Industry

Mark H.

β€œDuring audits, CCP questions always created tension. This training gave our team confidence. We improved our critical limits, clarified responsibilities on the floor, and aligned our deviation process with real risk assessment. Our CCP discussion in the last audit was calm and well-controlled.”

Food Safety Specialist, International Pet Food

Sophie L.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before enrolling in this training.

  • What will I learn in this training?

    You will learn what a Critical Control Point truly requires β€” and what it does not. The training explains how to define sound critical limits, organise effective monitoring, and handle CCP deviations correctly, including product disposition decisions. You will also understand what proper verification looks like and how to demonstrate ongoing control during audits. In addition, you will recognise common weaknesses that lead to audit findings, over-classification of CCPs, or poorly managed deviations. The goal is not to make your HACCP plan more complex, but to make your CCP system clearer, stronger, and defensible.

  • How long does the training take?

    The training takes approximately 1,5 hour. It is on-demand, so you can follow it at your own pace and return to specific sections whenever you need them. You also get 1 year of access, so you can revisit the lessons anytime during implementation.

  • Does the training include a certificate?

    Yes. You’ll receive a certificate of completion. This serves as proof of continuous training β€” something GFSI auditors specifically look for.

  • Is the training relevant for my role?

    This training is highly relevant if you are involved in HACCP, CCP management, audit preparation, or food safety decision-making. It is particularly valuable for QA Managers, Food Safety Specialists, Technical Managers, Compliance Leads, and consultants who are responsible for defining, reviewing, or defending CCP systems. If you participate in audits, manage deviations, review monitoring records, or oversee HACCP plans, this training will strengthen your judgement and help you demonstrate real control β€” not just documentation compliance.

  • Are subtitles available?

    Yes. Subtitles are available in 13 languages, making it easy for global teams to follow along.

  • Can I watch this training on my phone or tablet?

    Yes. You can access the training on desktop, tablet, or mobile, including the Thinkific mobile app.
