FSPCA, PCHF, and HACCP Training
FSPCA PCQI and HACCP Training
Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA) Preventive Controls for Human Foods (PCHF) is a three day course (minimum 22 hours) that will provide the tools necessary to complete the FSMA Preventive Controls rule requirements. Developed by the FSPCA, the course is considered the “standardized curriculum” recognized by the FDA. Successful completion of this course meets the requirements for a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI).
Following the PCHF training is a half-day training for Introduction to Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP). This course is designed for individuals who have completed the PCHF course and provides the tools necessary to complete HACCP plans. Individual certificates are provided for the successful completion of these training courses.
Courses are taught by Hydrite's in-house microbiologist, a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI) lead instructor.
This training is available upon request. To discuss options for your facility, please reach out to your Hydrite representative or contact us:

- Receive the tools to complete the requirements for FSMA Preventive Controls rule
- Receive a certificate of completion
HACCP
The HACCP training is designed for individuals who have completed PCHF/PCQI training and is accredited through the International HACCP Alliance.
At the completion of the course, students will understand HACCP principles, identify the resources needed to develop, implement and maintain a HACCP plan, understand and identify process step hazard assessment and understand and identify steps required to determine critical control points. The course is accredited through the International HACCP Alliance. Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive a certificate with an International HACCP Alliance sticker provided by Hydrite.
Those who complete this course will:
- Identify the resources needed to develop, implement, and maintain a HACCP plan
- Understand and identify the steps required to determine critical control points
- Receive a certificate with an International HACCP Alliance sticker provided by Hydrite.
