This course offers practical training on the implementation of the RSPO SCC requirements. Who needs to be certified? Any organization throughout the supply chain that take legal ownership and physically handles RSPO Certified Sustainable oil palm products at a location under control of the organization including outsourced contractors. After the end product manufacturer there is no further requirement for certification.

Examination and delegate assessment. The knowledge and understanding of participants will be assessed through an examination based on fifteen multi choice questions taken from the whole syllabus and four written short answer questions and two long answer questions. To obtain the Certificate of successful completion of auditor training course, candidates will need a mark of at least 60% in the examination. Each question will be allocated a potential maximum number of points and this will be evaluated by the course leader against a standard answer. The course leader will also take into account all delegates participation and role playing in the overall evaluation of compliance. Any delegate achieving a score of between 60% and 50% will be interviewed by the course leader at the end of the course and he will take into account the participation and role playing to determine if the overall mark can be increased to 60%. For any delegates that fail the course, the course leader will determine their weaknesses and will suggest additional reading, individual tuition or attendance at part or all of a new course. That person may sit another exami- nation under controlled conditions as agreed with the course leader. The maximum number of times a delegate may sit examinations by any RSPO endorsed trainers in twice. The course leader will inform the RSPO as to any delegates who have attended but failed the examination so that this information can be shared with other course leaders. Page 5
