This refresher training is designed for qualified PEFC auditors, reviewers or certification decision makers who wish to maintain their qualification to issue certification against the 2020 PEFC chain of custody related standards, as required by PEFC ST 2003.

This training is also suitable for staff with chain of custody responsibilities working for PEFC certified companies, as well as staff members of PEFC national members who have already completed their initial auditor training.
