PEFC organised chain of custody training
We organise various chain of custody trainings throughout the year. These trainings are carried out by recognised PEFC International Technical Experts.
PEFC organised chain of custody training
Auditors, reviewers, and certification decision makers can qualify to carry out PEFC chain of custody certification by attending a training organised by PEFC.
Our training sessions, both initial and refresher, are conducted regularly throughout the year, online and in-person. These sessions are held by PEFC International and PEFC national members, ensuring they are held in a variety of languages and time zones.
By choosing to train your auditors through PEFC organised training, you have the freedom to pick the sessions in the language and time that suits you, while being assured that all the training is of the same high-quality. With all the sessions in one place, it’s easy to find, select and register the training that is right for your auditors.
The training
Our training is based on interactivity, practical examples, open question and answer sessions, and dedicated group work. This method enables auditors to benefit from the knowledge provided by our technical specialists, as well as from experience exchange between each other.
Additionally, in order to better adapt the training to the participants’ needs, participants are required to take case studies, prior to the training. Trainers will revise the case studies and adapt the training content based on the needs of participants.
Participants also have the opportunity to evaluate and give feedback on the session, anonymously, following the training. This helps us to continually improve the training, and provide a more robust service to certification bodies.
Following a training, there is a mandatory online knowledge test. Participants will receive a link to the test in the weeks following the training, and need to achieve a minimum of 80% to pass. Once they have passed the knowledge test, the participant will receive a digital certificate as proof of their participation in a PEFC chain of custody training.
PEFC International Technical Experts
All training organised by PEFC is carried out by recognized PEFC International Technical Experts. These experts are all part of the PEFC International Chain of Custody Pool of Experts programme. This ensures they have all been trained to ensure they carry out high-quality, harmonised chain of custody training, coordinated at the international level.
Training fees
Training fees vary depending on a number of variables, including type of training, organiser and location. The fees are payable per participant, and must be paid before the training. All training announcements will always clearly identify the fee.
Need to train multiple auditors?
Certification bodies that need to train several auditors, reviewers and certification decision maker may want to take part in our Training Recognition Programme (TRP).
The TRP enables you to get PEFC recognition of your internal PEFC chain of custody training programme. This allows you to provide your personnel with PEFC approved training at a time that suits you.
