Participants that pass the knowledge test will receive a PEFC recognised chain of custody training certificate within two weeks.

Successful participants will also be added to the PEFC register of trained auditors, reviewers and certification decision makers.

The training is to take place online over two half days: 2-3 September, 10:00-15:00 (AEST). To express interest go to: https://www.responsiblewood.org.au/pefc-chain-of-custody-refresher-training/registration/
