Edition 9 of the SQF Code redefined what it means to be “qualified.” If your training predates the new standard—or lacks proof—you may face non-conformance. Learn what auditors expect, why old credentials fall short, and how to update your training before your next audit.

If your training isn’t current—or your records can’t prove it—you may not be allowed to lead. Learn what’s changed, what no longer counts, and how to close the compliance gap before your next audit.

Auditors aren’t looking for good intentions—they want documented proof your SQF Practitioner meets Edition 9 training requirements.

Facing an SQF audit with a newly appointed Practitioner? It’s not too late. Learn what auditors expect, what the SQF Code really requires, and how accelerated training can get new team members audit-ready—fast.

You don’t need decades of QA experience to become an SQF Practitioner. The SQF Code prioritizes proof over pedigree—meaning proper training and documentation can qualify even first-time professionals.

SQF doesn’t ban consultants—but auditors expect your Practitioner to be “employed by the site.” Learn what that means, the risks of outsourcing, and why most facilities train internally.
