This two-day course bridges the divide between being an APSCA CSCA and a WRAP-accredited Lead Auditor. It introduces our program, including an overview of the audit process and relevant documentation. It also breaks down WRAP’s 12 Principles as they relate to distinct audit requirements.
Participants who successfully complete this course (including an examination) will be awarded a WRAP certificate, valid for two years, and will be qualified to lead WRAP audits during that time. To maintain that qualification, auditors must take our “One-Day Refresher Training” once every two years.
APSCA requires its member auditors to complete 48 hours of continuous professional development (CPD) training each year, and this course is recognized by the association’s CPD program. Completion of this course fulfills 16 hours towards APSCA’s minimum CPD requirements.
