Any person who has been approved as a HACCP Lead Instructor through the International HACCP Alliance may teach an accredited HACCP course. If an instructor was approved as part of a HACCP course accreditation application, but is no longer associated with that organization or company initially approved, they can still teach HACCP courses independently providing they submit their OWN HACCP course application and materials for approval. That would entail submitting Forms A and B of the HACCP Accreditation Application, and the processing fee of $150 USD.
However, once you are approved as a HACCP Lead Instructor, you may teach any HACCP Alliance Accredited HACCP course if they request you to. For example, if a university or organization who is already teaching an accredited HACCP course asks to hire an approved lead instructor to teach a course, they may do so even if they were not initially approved in association with that particular university of organization, and do not plan to be associated with them in the future.

Each HACCP course needs to be renewed every three years, and the fee is $100. The fee to change the name or title of your course is also $100.
