Step 2. Prepare for the exam.

Take a look at the new HACCP Auditor Body of Knowledge (effective with the March 3, 2012 exam).  The last administration of the current HACCP Auditor Body of Knowledge will be March 2, 2012. Compare the old and new BOKs (PDF, 84 KB).

ASQ designed these resources to help you get ready to take the exam. Have you already reviewed these items? Are you ready to choose an exam date?

Take a look at the Body of Knowledge. Review a list of references that provide the basis for the exam questions. These items give you a better idea of the material covered in the exam.
