This page is work in progress. We are collecting opinions from our clients and present them here, to the benefit of other potential clients...
Gerrit Marais, Director of the SGS Qualifor Programme:
SGS has been involved with AB Training for a number of years now and we are using their service exclusively for the training of our certification auditors (Forest Management, Chain of Custody and Trademark Use). We find the services provided by AB Training to be professional and responsive to our needs and we believe that the experience and knowledge of Liviu Amariei and Michal Brink is unequalled in this regard. We would strongly recommend these services to all stakeholders.
Pier Luigi Fabbroni, Quality Manager at SCA Hygiene Products:
After implementing the FSC Standard FSC-STD-40-004 and 005 since 2002, I decided to take the AB Training FSC Lead Auditor Course in January 2010 and I was very surprised to see how many aspects and details I had not considered seriously. The tutor was very good at balancing theory and practice and has managed to involve in an active way all course participants, making the lessons interesting and building a cohesive team. Personally, I can recommend the course, because it allows you to implement the FSC system in a simple and efficient way.
Dana Katz, Training Manager, Natural Resources Programme, Scientific Certification Systems (SCS)
With its ISO 19011 course, AB Training made it easy to both comply with our accreditation requirements and give auditors a real opportunity to learn something meaningful. The group exercises were invaluable to our auditors.
Michal Rezek, Head of the Forest and Timber Department, TÜV SÜD Czech.
TÜV SÜD Czech is in the process of achieving FSC-accreditation and in 2010 we were searching for a training program that in our view fulfills FSC requirements for auditor training. We have chosen AB Training and have already done two rounds of training for our auditors from different parts of the world. The so-called "blended" course for COC auditors at AB Training makes very good sense as the online part prepares the auditors for the face-to-face part, which is only two days but very effective thanks to the knowledge auditors gained during the online part. The course is pretty demanding. This is what we need in order to ensure a high level of knowledge and performance of our auditors who are motivated to keep FSC's credibility high.
