Continuous Professional Development Trainings / Courses

Comptetency Framework_2

APSCA strives to support our Member Auditors and enhance auditor competencies through APSCA’S Continuous Professional Development (CPD) policy. We welcome Member Firms, partners, and affiliates to participate in this initiative by submitting an expression of interest to have their social compliance auditing-related training courses  recognized as part of APSCA’s CPD program. Recognized courses will be given a number of CPD hours which Member Auditors can note on their APSCA profile as meeting the annual requirement. Recognized courses can range from online courses to webinars, conferences, and workshops, etc. For more information on recognized courses, please see APSCA Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Trainers and Training Providers Policy.

You can submit your training or course materials for consideration by completing our expression of interest form here.

Any questions, please contact Director@theapsca.org

APSCA will continue to add links to recognized training available to the public, as applicable, and we welcome other courses/trainings for consideration. Should there be other course available not already listed or captured on our list, please contact APSCA at: director@theapsca.org

We are also reviewing trainings provided by firms and allocated CPD hours.  As most firm trainings are internal only, they may not be publicly available to book. Consult your firm for trainings/courses available to internal auditors.

<<< You can also look for our CPD badges for recognized trainings (see sample to the left). These badges are posted on provider websites to identify courses and hours recognized for APSCA credit.
