Food hygiene training, made mandatory since 2012 by the legislator, is aimed at commercial catering establishments that provide meals and drinks for immediate consumption.
Among the categories of establishments concerned, we find:
The nature of the activity (permanent or occasional, main or secondary) and the legal status of the company are not determining factors. Thus, businesses, auto-entrepreneurs and associations are all concerned.
Some profiles and sectors are not required to follow this training. For example, we find:
Did you obtain a CAP, BEP, BTS or even specialized BAC diploma after 2006? Or do you have three years of experience as an operator or manager of a catering establishment? Please note that you are also exempt from this training.
It is important to note that HACCP certification is not specific to a specific location. Thus, if you change establishment (in case of resumption for example), you can keep your accreditation.
To obtain permission to propose a HACCP training, a training organization must meet two conditions:
To obtain authorization to provide training, the organization must have a number assigned by the DIRECCTE (Regional Directorates for Businesses, Competition, Labor and Employment). This number must appear in the training agreements issued by the training organization. On a quarterly basis, DIRECCTE publishes a file containing the activity numbers of all training organizations.
In addition to this, to be able to provide food hygiene training in the catering industry, your training organization must have a ROFHYA number. The DRAAF (the Regional Directorate for Food, Agriculture and Forestry) of the region where the training is taking place is the organization responsible for issuing this number. Each region therefore has its own DRAAF. DRAAF publishes a list of all registered training organizations online, with their corresponding ROFHYA number.
Attention: You must indicate this number on the certificates of successful completion of the training, as well as on the training agreements.
Like many training courses, HACCP has a cost. However, all French workers are entitled to training and can obtain funding for it. Whether you are an employee, job seeker, manager or self-employed, you have the option of having your training financed, whether online or in person.
For example, it is possible to benefit from free HACCP training thanks to Pôle Emploi.
It is the OPCOs (Competence Operators) who take care of the costs of your training, depending on your status.

To apply for funding for your HACCP training, you must go to the funder's website and follow the procedure provided.
