Training
BRC Global Standards provides many training opportunities for sites seeking certification to the Global Standards. Training on the standards can be achieved directly from BRC through the BRC Academy; however, this training is limited in geographical availability. Alternatively, training on implementing the different standards may be received from a BRC Approved Training Partner (ATP’s). Click here for a directory of BRC ATPs in your area.
