Which courses does a food safety internal auditor need?

If you audit against FSSC 22000, take Implementation of Good Manufacturing Practices, HACCP for Supervisors and HACCP Teams, Introduction to FSSC 22000, Internal and Supplier Auditing Practices based on FSMS and An Overview of Root Cause Analysis, in that order. 5 courses, 71 hours, R10 729 bought one by one. Add ISO 9001:2026 Internal Auditor, 14 hours, if you audit quality too.

In what order should internal auditors take these courses, and why?

An internal auditor has to know the system well enough to find what the certification body will find first. This path builds that knowledge in the order an audit uses it: Implementation of Good Manufacturing Practices for the prerequisite programmes, 16 hours, then HACCP for Supervisors and HACCP Teams for the plan at supervisor level, 16 hours. Then comes the scheme you audit against: Introduction to FSSC 22000, Transition to FSSC 22000 Version 7, Introduction to BRCGS for Food Safety or Introduction to ISO 22000. Internal and Supplier Auditing Practices based on FSMS, 24 hours, covers planning, sampling, interviewing, objective evidence and writing findings that stand up. An Overview of Root Cause Analysis makes corrective actions address causes rather than symptoms. The FSSC 22000 path is 71 hours, R10 729 bought one by one.

How long does the internal auditor path take, and what does it cost?

The 5 core courses take about 71 hours of self-paced study and cost R10 729 bought one by one. At 5 hours a week that is about 15 weeks, on a phone or a laptop.

That is about R2 146 a course. Set it against what it protects: a failed audit or a lost certification costs a business far more than any course on this page.

What is the path for ISO 22000?

If you audit against ISO 22000:2018, take Implementation of Good Manufacturing Practices, HACCP for Supervisors and HACCP Teams, Introduction to ISO 22000, Internal and Supplier Auditing Practices based on FSMS and An Overview of Root Cause Analysis. 5 courses, 66 hours, R9 978 bought one by one.

Do I need HACCP training before the internal auditing course?

Yes, take HACCP for Supervisors and HACCP Teams first. Internal and Supplier Auditing Practices based on FSMS assumes you can read a HACCP plan, follow a CCP to its records and judge whether verification was done. The 16 hour supervisor course gives you that. Implementation of Good Manufacturing Practices comes before it, because most audit findings sit in the prerequisite programmes rather than in the CCPs.

Can I do the internal auditor courses on my phone at work?

Yes. Every ASC course is online and self-paced, so you can work through the modules on a phone or laptop between audits, and you keep lifetime access to the material.

Which internal auditor course covers both ISO 9001 and FSSC 22000?

Take Internal and Supplier Auditing Practices based on FSMS, 24 hours, for the food safety system, and add ISO 9001:2026 Internal Auditor, 14 hours, for the quality system. The first covers planning, evidence and findings against a food safety management system. The second applies the same discipline to the ISO 9001:2026 clauses. Together they are 38 hours and cost R7 500.
