We will be organizing the 11th RSPO-endorsed Lead Auditors Course in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 19-23th October 2015.
Developed by ProForest and Wild Asia, the course is designed for auditors and members of the palm oil supply chain. Training will consist of classroom lectures, group work and practical audit exercise. This course will combine the experience and expertise of Wild Asia trainers in supporting palm oil producers to meet the expectations of RSPO.
This 5-day training course is designed for auditors wishing to carry out auditing for the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) producer standard, for company staff in charge of meeting RSPO requirements, and any interested stakeholders (e.g. NGOs, government officials) wanting to learn about RSPO standards and systems. The course includes lectures, workshops, a practical audit exercise and a written examination.
Endorsed by the RSPO, the course provides lead auditors and other participants with an in-depth knowledge of the RSPO Principles and Criteria and their implementation. It focuses on application of the RSPO Certification Systems and audit practice requirements to ensure consistent and appropriate audit decision making.
Course Overview
The course will run for 5 days and consists of:
- 3 days classroom tutorials, exercises and workshops
