Combining our expertise and experiences in the field, and our work on sustainability standards, Wild Asia and ProForest have come together to develop a series of Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) endorsed training courses. Learn more about the courses we are currently running.

Written by Wild Asia on 1 Feb 2010

Since Wild Asia and ProForest (UK) finalized our partnership in 2008, we have worked together to design small-group courses that are practical and interactive, aiming to accelerate the learning experience of our students. These courses are designed for RSPO-approved auditors or for those interested in understanding RSPO.

These are the courses available for 2010.

Interpretation & Implementation of the RSPO Principle & Criteria (SSP 01)

This course aims to provide practical guidance for oil palm growers, buyers, sellers and other interested stakeholders to address the most challenging requirements of the RSPO Principles & Criteria. The training course will incorporate examples from National Interpretations and case studies. It will provide participants with a deeper understanding of the key social and environmental issues facing the oil palm industry today.

This course will be conducted by tutors from ProForest and Wild Asia with international field experience, who will share their collective insights on practical measures to address RSPO requirements.

This course will run over 3-days and seats are limited to 25 participants, early registration is strongly encouraged.

RSPO Lead Auditor Course (SSP 02)

Endorsed by the RSPO, the SSP Lead Auditor Course on RSPO P&C is a professional auditing course and is designed for auditors within RSPO approved Certification Bodies to meet the RSPO auditor requirements. The course is also open to internal auditors or organizations providing advisory in RSPO.

Course modules will cover understanding of the RSPO P&C for both plantations and supply chains, with a focus on requirements for auditing, planning and the certification systems. The course includes a practical audit component and exams.

Look out for the next course in 2011!
