This 5-day training course aims to provide auditors with in-depth knowledge on the implementation of the RSPO Certification Systems and Standard for Production. This course is part of a longer term strategy to ensure consistent and appropriate decision making in audit practise.
Trainers are qualified Lead Auditors or contents experts from Wild Asia. The trainers have extensive RSPO knowledge and bringing together collective experiences in the planning and implementation of RSPO.
