anyone can take the external auditor's study and the national examination. It doesn't matter if you don't have an internal auditor's certificate. Now the auditor of the food management system is very strict. Must be a bachelor's degree in food major or related major (biology, chemistry), and have 5 years working experience. Participating in the training of external auditors depends on whether the training institution is a unit recognized by CCAA, otherwise it will not be allowed to sign up for the examination. CCAA has an exam every quarter, and there are several examination rooms in China and Beijing. It is still difficult to take two exams at a time. After passing the exam, find a certification body and you can be an auditor. The training fee is about 3,111 yuan, and you have to pay for the exam of 81 yuan. The pass rate is between 31 and 61.

in contrast, the quality system auditor is simpler, and there is no academic requirement. As long as you have a training certificate, you can take the quarterly exam. The external audit certificate must have an internal audit certificate.
