SQF (Safe Quality Food) is a GFSI‑benchmarked food safety certification program. It provides a rigorous, globally recognized framework for managing food safety risks. This SQF practitioner training covers everything from the SQF code to certification. See also Introduction to SQF for a foundational overview.
The SQF certification process includes: implementing SQF systems (Module 2), GMP/GAP modules, conducting internal audits, and undergoing third‑party certification audits. Module 6 covers the certification process in detail. For GFSI benchmarking, visit the GFSI website. See also Implementing SQF Systems 9.0 for practical implementation guidance.
SQF Practitioners are responsible for overseeing SQF system implementation, training employees, conducting internal audits, maintaining documentation, and preparing for certification audits. Module 7 covers the practitioner's role. For related auditing skills, see Principles of Internal Auditing.
GFSI‑benchmarked schemes include SQF, BRCGS, FSSC 22000, IFS, and Global G.A.P. Module 2 covers these schemes and their implications. For deeper BRC knowledge, see BRCGS Training. External reference: SQFI website.
The Safe Quality Food Institute (SQFI) is the official SQF standard owner. The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) provides benchmarking and benchmarking requirements.
