We have included a section to download all the relevant RSPO documentation: general guidances, user-specific guidances, book & claim guidances and the RSPO standard and systems documentation.
There will be a final evaluation assessment at the end of the course which is compulsory for those intending to take this course as part of the RSPO auditor competency. A certificate will be available for those that have successfully passed the course evaluation.
