The PEFC RED II training programme provides certification body auditors, reviewers, and certification decision makers with the essential knowledge and skills for effectively implementing PEFC RED II certification. Delivered entirely online through the PEFC Knowledge Academy, the programme follows an e-learning approach and includes regular Q&A sessions with trained auditors to facilitate experience sharing and feedback exchange.
PEFC RED II General Training
All certification bodies auditors, reviewers, and certification decision makers must undertake the PEFC RED II General Training before they can provide PEFC RED II certification services. To participate in this training, the individual must already be PEFC chain of custody qualified. The training is made up of 12 compulsory modules that must be taken sequentially and takes around eight hours to complete. You will have eight weeks to complete the training, enabling you to work at your own pace.
Once you have finished the training and passed the knowledge test, you will receive your training certificate and can start performing PEFC RED II audits. The certificate is valid for two years and you will need to undergo a refresher training before the certificate expires.
If you lose your PEFC chain of custody qualification while PEFC RED II qualification is still valid, you have three months to obtain a new PEFC chain of custody training certificate. If you do not obtain a new PEFC chain of custody qualification in this time, your PEFC RED II training certificate shall be suspended.
