Step into the role of an FSC auditor, or gain the insight to understand their perspective, through this intensive expert-level training. This ASI-accredited FSC Chain of Custody course is designed to meet the formal FSC auditor training requirements while giving participants practical knowledge of the FSC CoC system.
The FSC Expert Course is made up of two separate tracks: Forest Management (FM) and Chain of Custody (CoC) certification. This registration covers the FSC CoC course, which combines an online module with three days of in-person classroom training. The program explores FSC standards and systems for Chain of Custody and Controlled Wood certification.
The course is delivered in English. Participants should have sufficient language skills to take part fully in presentations, group exercises, discussions, and examinations.
The online module is available only to paid participants and takes approximately three days to complete. The classroom agenda follows the standard course format, while the online module agenda will be added separately. The final exam will be held online and supervised after the training.
Available course dates and times are listed below. During the training, the facilitators will collect your preferred exam slot, and you will later receive a Microsoft Teams invitation.
6 November, 10:00 – 12:30 CST
9 November, 13:00 – 15:30 CST
