Overview

Al Barakah Training Solution’s Halal Awareness Training introduces employees to halal and haram, contamination risks and good halal practices at work. This beginner-level halal awareness course helps teams understand their responsibilities when producing, handling, storing or serving halal food.

Halal Awareness Training (HAT) is not just a regulatory checkbox; it’s the foundational pillar of your organization’s halal assurance system. As mandated in the Manual Procedure for Malaysia Halal Certification (Domestic) 2020, every employee involved in the halal chain must undergo this training at least once every three years.

This training is essential for employees of JAKIM Halal-certified companies to comply with the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) set by JAKIM’s Halal Division.

With reference to the latest Manual Procedure for Malaysian Halal Certification (MPPHM 2020), Clause 17(12)(c) under the Training section:

“Halal Awareness Training must cover topics related to the concept of Halal and Malaysian Halal Certification procedures, and must be conducted by organizations or individuals registered under JAKIM’s Halal Professional Board (HPB).”

The certificate issued is also recognized by the Malaysia International Halal Academy (MIHA), meaning our certification is accepted not only in Malaysia but also internationally.
