This course prepares the people who build and check it: the QA manager, the SQF practitioner and the internal audit team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe course teaches SQF Edition 9. SQFI published Edition 10 in March 2026 and expects audits against it to begin no earlier than 2 January 2027, subject to GFSI benchmarking, so delegates are told to check with SQFI which edition their next audit will use. The slides explain the code's architecture and tiers, the system elements and the GMP modules, and walk through how the certification audit is scored: a minor finding costs one point, a major costs five, and a critical is an automatic failure. A slide on the practitioner's first ninety days turns the code into a starting plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe delegate workbook includes a gap assessment on a generic 'Company X' and asks why a UAE exporter to the US would pursue SQF. The exam pack includes an answer key and a planted-gaps guide, and a certificate template records training given by your organisation. It does not lead to SQF certification. AGS is independent and is not affiliated with SQFI or GFSI. Standards are referenced by number and title only, and no standard text is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat this course covers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSQF and GFSI:\u003c\/strong\u003e where the scheme sits and why buyers ask for it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCode architecture:\u003c\/strong\u003e the structure of the code and its tiers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreparing to implement:\u003c\/strong\u003e the role of the SQF practitioner and the first steps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem elements:\u003c\/strong\u003e the management requirements of the code.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFood defence, fraud and recall:\u003c\/strong\u003e the controls the code expects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGMP modules:\u003c\/strong\u003e the good manufacturing practice requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe certification audit and scoring:\u003c\/strong\u003e how findings are graded and rated, with a worked example.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal auditing:\u003c\/strong\u003e planning and running internal audits, practised on the Company X case.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQA managers, prospective SQF practitioners and internal auditors at manufacturers targeting US and global retail, including exporters to North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSQF plans are built on Codex HACCP, so it pairs with FSMS CodexHACCP-2023 for the HACCP system underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apex Global Solutions AGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57395106349396,"sku":"AGS-14-027","price":490.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/4996\/4372\/files\/AGS-14-027.png?v=1790973547","url":"https:\/\/agskits.com\/products\/sqf-edition-9-implementation-internal-audit-training-package","provider":"Apex Global Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
