Considering SQF certification and want a clear picture of what the first year looks like?
If you’re new to GFSI-benchmarked certification, your first year of SQF is a learning phase where understanding the process early can make a real difference.
Join Leigh Hamilton and Tammie Van Buren for a practical, experience-based overview of the SQF first-year journey. We’ll walk through what actually happens from registration to your first certification audit, what auditors expect to see, where companies often need additional clarity or support in their first year, and the typical cost line items associated with certification, so you can plan and budget appropriately.
