MSPO Auditor Training Course

DESCRIPTION

This course is designed for those who have a general background in Sustainability Standards and have a basic knowledge of the requirements of the MSPO.

The objective of this Course is to equip delegates with knowledge and skills required to perform audits of MSPO Sustainability Standard against the MSPO principles & criteria, statutory requirements and regulations using the principles of ISO 19011.

This is not intended to be an implementer’s course, or one that will create an expert in Sustainability legislation, or one that will train to an acceptable level a delegate with no prior knowledge of the standard or of sustainability matters. Therefore, prior to attending this training course, we recommend that participants in this course demonstrate competence in the established Sustainability management system, for example the successful completion of a MSPO Awareness Course.

The course duration is 24 hours including quiz and workshops. Participants may need to work late days over the 3 days training course.

Participants will be graded on the basis of a continuous assessment of their performance and active participation against the Course objectives;

To successfully complete the Course, delegates must obtain at least a “Satisfactory” Grade in the continuous assessment

Important: Only the softcopy of the course material will be distributed on the day of training. Thus participants are reminded to bring along their laptop for the duration of the training.
