The first day of training includes an introduction to 4C Services, followed by an overview of the system and approach to certification. Classes include Setting Up 4C Units and Business Partners Roles, Internal Management Systems, 4C Risk Assessment & Innovative Tools, and 4C Sampling Methodology and Audit Plan.

Auditors that did not attend 4C Trainings in 2018 must participate in a 4C Training by 31 December 2019 to maintain their status as 4C Auditor. 4C Services highly recommends participation in the training to all users of the 4C system to become familiar with its new approach.
