On 29th October 2015, GUTcert received the provisional approval to offer RSPO endorsed trainings. From 2016 on auditors for RSPO Supply Chain Certification will be trained by the GUTcert Academy. Until now only English training courses have been recognized. Accordingly, GUTcert is the first provider of such trainings on the German market and can organize the courses either in English or in German.

The course is intended for specialists, managers, representatives, internal auditors, technicians and engineers in the field of food, oleo chemistry and cosmetics who would like to develop or maintain a RSPO Supply Chain system. The course is also designed for ISO 9001 or environmental auditors who want to extend their qualification in the field of RSPO Supply Chain certification. To work as an auditor for RSPO Supply Chain Certification it is mandatory to demonstrate successful completion of a two-day RSPO-endorsed Supply Chain Certification Systems training course.

The first GUTcert training will be held in German on 17th and 18th March 2016 in Berlin. Additionally, we organize a second training in English on 30th June and 1st July 2016.

Location: GUTcert Akademie, Eichenstraße 3b, 12435 Berlin, GERMANY
