What Is the Edition 10 SQF Conversion Course?

The Edition 10 SQF Conversion Course is the Safe Quality Food Institute's (SQFI) training course on what changed between Edition 9 and Edition 10 of the SQF Code, why the changes were made and how to put them into practice. Kiwa ASI is an SQFI Licensed Training Center and teaches it in person in St. Louis as a half-day class led by an SQFI Certified Trainer.

It's built for people who already run an SQF system under Edition 9. If you're new to SQF or to the SQF Practitioner role, start with Implementing SQF Systems, which covers the full Edition 10 Code. The course trains your people; it doesn't certify your site.

Edition 10 audits are coming.

SQFI released the Edition 10 Codes in March 2026 and anticipates that certification audits to Edition 10 will begin on January 2, 2027. SQFI notes the date depends on GFSI benchmarking and could move later. Until then, sites are audited to Edition 9.

  • Half Day

    December 1, 2026, 8:30 AM–12:30 PM CT, so you're back at your site by the afternoon.

  • In Person in St. Louis

    In Kiwa ASI's training room at The Crossings at Northwest in St. Ann, Missouri, with free parking.

  • Hands-On

    Group discussion, live navigation of the digitized Code, scenario exercises and action planning.

    A Kiwa ASI certificate for your training records, as evidence of Edition 10 training at your audits.

Questions Before You Enroll?

What is the SQF Edition 10 Conversion Course?

The SQF Edition 10 Conversion Course is the SQFI training course on what changed between Edition 9 and Edition 10 of the SQF Code, why the changes were made and how to put them into practice. Kiwa ASI is an SQFI Licensed Training Center and teaches it in person in St. Louis as a half-day class led by an SQFI Certified Trainer.

Who should attend the Edition 10 Conversion Course?

SQF Practitioners and backup practitioners, quality assurance and food safety staff, and certified site teams who already work with an Edition 9 system and need to update it for Edition 10. SQFI designed the conversion course for SQF Practitioners, auditors, and quality professionals.

When and where is the next St. Louis class?

December 1, 2026, 8:30 AM–12:30 PM CT, at The Crossings at Northwest, 500 NW Plaza Dr, St. Ann, MO 63074, in Kiwa ASI's first-floor training room. Free parking is available on site.

How long is the course, and what is the format?

It's a single half-day class, 8:30 AM–12:30 PM CT, in person. It's highly interactive, combining group discussion, live navigation of the digitized Code, scenario exercises and action planning, and you can ask questions about your own site throughout.

How much does the St. Louis class cost?

$325 per seat, including course materials and refreshments. For six or more people, ask about private training: email US.Info@kiwa-asi.com or call 1 (800) 477-0778.

How do I enroll?

Select Enroll Now in the enroll box at the top of this page to pay online. Questions first? Call 1 (800) 477-0778 or email US.Info@kiwa-asi.com.

What changed in SQF Edition 10?

Key changes include a new requirement for every site to have a food safety culture assessment plan, change management as a dedicated requirement, strengthened environmental monitoring expectations, a revised scoring model with weighted core clauses, and a digital-first Code. The course walks through each change and what it means for your documents, programs and records.

When do SQF Edition 10 audits begin?

SQFI released the Edition 10 Codes in March 2026 and anticipates that certification audits to Edition 10 will begin on January 2, 2027. SQFI notes the date depends on GFSI benchmarking and could move later. Sites audited before Edition 10 takes effect are still audited to Edition 9, so now is the time to update your system.

Is the Edition 10 Conversion Course required?

SQFI does not require the Conversion Course. However, the SQF Code requires your SQF Practitioner to understand the SQF Code and how to implement and maintain the SQF System for your site, so practitioners need to be current on Edition 10 before your site's first Edition 10 audit. The course is a fast, structured way to get there.

Should I take the Conversion Course or Implementing SQF Systems?

If you already run an SQF system under Edition 9, the Conversion Course covers what you need: the changes and how to apply them. If you're new to SQF or new to the SQF Practitioner role, take Implementing SQF Systems, which covers the full Edition 10 Code from the ground up.

What will I leave the course with?

You leave knowing where the Edition 10 requirements sit in the digitized Code, with a list of gaps in your own programs, and with a realistic, site-specific 30-day action plan for your transition.

What certificate do I receive?

Participants who complete the course receive a Kiwa ASI Certificate of Completion, which you can keep in your training records as documented evidence of Edition 10 training for your audits.

Can I cancel or reschedule?

Yes. Tell us at least 14 days before the class to cancel or reschedule. Later cancellations may be subject to fees, as described in your registration confirmation. Email US.Info@kiwa-asi.com or call 1 (800) 477-0778.

Is there a live online option?

Yes. The same half-day course runs live on Zoom, 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM Central Time, for $325 per seat. See the online Edition 10 SQF Conversion Course.
