Become an SQF Professional | Safe Quality Food Institute

SQF Professional Application Process

To make the application process as efficient as possible, first review the criteria documents for becoming an SQF Auditor, Consultant or Trainer to understand the kind of information the Professional Review Panel will be assessing when making their decision.

To save time, potential SQF Professionals should have the following support documents ready to upload:

Audit, HACCP or Training logs
Professional development records
Certificates

The personal details section must be completed before continuing with the online application process otherwise applicants will have to re-start from the beginning, upon returning to the online application.

After starting the application process, applicants will have up to 14 days to upload any supporting documentation. To expedite the application process, applicants should plan to upload all supporting documents immediately after finishing the personal details section.

A non-refundable application fee must be paid before registration can begin. Once an application is approved, applicants will be responsible for paying a registration fee before their SQF Professional credentials can be issued. Applicable amounts for fees can be found in our Professional Fee Structure.
