Online Training

During the COVID pandemic every organisation has had to move much of its work to online delivery and virtual operations. Proforest is committed to ensuring the safety of its staff, customers and partners throughout this time.

We have been running a number of training sessions by webinar and have been developing a series of free online courses.

These are available on the Proforest Academy, a digital platform for introductory courses, thematic deep-dives and certification across our work in responsible sourcing and production in agriculture and forestry. You can register and explore the courses and catalogues, with more coming soon. 

Field courses

We have developed a number of one-day workshops that we can run in the field for teams on the ground. This includes our Responsible Sourcing Practical Guide, which provides practical guidance for the development and implementation of responsible sourcing policies.

As part of the Africa Practitioners Network (APN) we support trainees to attain practical experience by providing opportunities for them to work on real audits, HCV assessments or consultation exercises with experienced experts.

Responsible Palm Oil

Endorsed by the RSPO, our Lead Auditor and RSPO Lead Auditor Supply Chain Certification courses are designed for those wishing to carry out auditing for the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) producer standard. We are also qualified to provide training on all HCV reporting requirements and assessment best practice.
