FSC® Accredited Courses
Our FSC® training courses have been approved by Assurance Services International (ASI), so we are an approved provider of FSC training courses in line with FSC PRO 20-004 (General Requirements for an FSC Training Programme).
Those who select and successfully complete the full FSC Auditing to ISO 19011, Forest Management or Chain of Custody courses will receive a valid training certificate as a crucial step towards becoming a qualified FSC auditor. These courses will also be of interest to certificate holders, non-governmental organisations involved in forest certification and other providers of certification services.
2021 Course Schedule

We are currently offering remote (online) courses in line with FSC-DER-2020-004. Once travel restrictions permit, we plan to offer in-person courses. We are aiming to start in-person courses towards the end of 2021, following all government advice for classroom based activities.
