Jason Young, Alchemy Consulting & Certified SQF Trainer

The best part of our live workshop is being able to connect the SQF Edition 10 requirements to real operational situations. Teams leave with a sharper read on where they're exposed, and a much clearer sense of what to do next.”

— Jason Young, Alchemy Consulting & Certified SQF Trainer

Designed for operational reality, not just compliance

Officially reviewed & approved

This workshop uses official SQFI materials and is delivered by an approved SQF Trainer and Auditor through Alchemy Consulting, a licensed SQF training center.

Practical, not theoretical

We focus on helping teams understand how Edition 10 applies operationally, not just what changed on paper.

Led by experienced industry experts

Facilitators have worked both inside food manufacturing facilities leading SQF programs and with a wide array of SQF sites on certification and program improvements. They bring true operational experience to each session and understand the unique challenges you face.

Bring the team that owns the program

SQF Edition 10 isn't owned by one person. The teams who attend together get more out of the same four hours.

  • One source of truth, one shared plan. Quality, safety, operations and leadership hear the same expert at the same time. You leave with priorities heard and agreed on, not recommendations one person has to sell internally.
  • Faster decisions. When the decision-makers are in the room, you walk out with answers, not action items.
  • Sharper Q&A. The more of your team that attends, the more facility-specific the live discussion gets.
  • Leadership that understands what it's funding. Edition 10 raised the bar on leadership accountability. Leaders leave knowing what their Practitioner is about to ask for, and what audit failure looks like under the new code.

Everything you need to know before you register

How is this workshop different from other SQF Edition 10 conversion courses?

This workshop goes beyond listing all of the changes in Edition 10. It's designed for teams that need to understand what those changes mean for their operation and leave with a transition plan.

Taught by a current SQF Auditor, it's built around your specific gaps, in language quality, operations, and leadership can all act on together. Because the hardest part of any code transition isn't knowing what changed, it's knowing what to do about it.

Is this workshop officially recognized by SQF?

Yes. This is a licensed, officially reviewed and approved SQF Edition 10 Conversion Workshop, delivered by a certified SQF Trainer and Auditor through Alchemy Consulting.

How long is the workshop?

The workshop is a focused 4-hour interactive session, designed to deliver maximum practical value without taking your team out of operations for a full day.

Can we schedule a private session for our team?

Yes. Private virtual or onsite workshops are available for organizations that want team-based training. Contact Alchemy Consulting to discuss your organization's needs.

Why send a leader, not just a Practitioner?

Edition 10 isn't a paperwork update. Leaders who attend will know what their Practitioner needs, why it matters, and what non-conformance looks like under the new code.

What will participants leave with?

All participants will receive the official SQF Training Presentation, a practical SQF workbook to support your planning after the session, and a certificate of attendance.

Who should attend?

Food safety, quality, operations, and leadership teams at any organization currently certified or pursuing SQF certification—and those planning their transition to Edition 10.
