The first step in achieving and maintaining SQF Certification is to understand the SQF Food Safety Code for Manufacturing. This class is designed to fulfill the training requirements to prepare individuals to take the SQF Practitioner test. All SQF-certified sites must have at least two SQF Practitioners overseeing the SQF Food Safety System. However, industry best practice is to have several Practitioners to ensure management commitment and coverage of the entire SQF System. This hands-on workshop uses the official SQF training material but adds real-life practical advice to fulfill the requirements of the code. Students will get a manual with the slides, a practice test, and an attendance certificate with the SQF Institute logo, our logo, and license number. This course is recommended for sites seeking certification, maintaining certification, or anyone interested in learning more about the SQF program and certification. To attend the training students must have had previous HACCP training approved by International HACCP Alliance or equivalent.
