SQF Training Requirements
Hello all,
Our facility will begin to implement SQF this year. I will be the SQF Practitioner for the facility. I am looking into some training first. What is the requirement for the Practitioner? I have found a course being offered in my area for implementing SQF systems and then another course for SQF Internal Auditor. Do I need all of this or just the internal auditor?
Also has anyone done the online course? Would you recommend it?
Thanks in advance!
from SQF v8 for food manufacturing
I wasn't clear if the internal audit was required or not - so I guess I will be taking that course.
I do have HACCP Training and have created and manage the HACCP program at the facility.
Thanks Scampi!
I did my training at NSFin Guelph ontario............it was 5 days for formal HACCP, internal auditor and implementation..................i only did the HACCP because I needed the certificate........been doing this job a long time but no silly piece of paper HAHAHA
I would do the online if I were you.........that way you can move through it quicker instead of being stuck in a room for a couple of days!!!
You will need HACCP Training and also Internal Audit training (preferably formal so you understand the requirements and what you need to do). Depending on your current experience with SQF, I would highly suggest also looking into SQF Implementation training. Many places offer these courses and training, but depends on your location of course. Best of luck to you..
I think I am right. If you follow the new FSMA rules you might need both HACCP training and PCQI training. I think the PCQI training will work. You need to check up on this. If you work in the USA.
Thank you
