Lead auditor training courses for sustainable palm oil

Proforest has run an RSPO endorsed Lead Auditor training course in Southeast Asia since 2008, and will now also be running these courses in Africa and Latin America.

The 5-day Lead Auditor training course is designed for auditors wishing to carry out auditing for the Roundtable on 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. It focuses on application of the RSPO Certification Systems and audit practice requirements to ensure consistent and appropriate audit decision making.

The course trainers are themselves qualified Lead Auditors and experts on specific topic areas (e.g. HCV experts) from the Proforest Initiative with extensive RSPO experience. The course will bring together their collective experiences in the planning and implementation of the RSPO. The training builds on our wide experience in training RSPO Lead Auditors as well as on the wealth of local experience we have working in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

In 2013 we are running courses in 5 different locations:

Takoradi, Ghana, 8-12 April 2013

El Negrito, Yoro, Honduras, 22-26 April 2013

Belém, Pará, Brazil, 13-17 May 2013
