What if training on risk-based certification could make you laugh out loud?
That’s the kind of thing attendees are saying about acaDEMY LIVE!, ACA’s small-group, in-person training. Each training covers risk-based certification skills plus topics tailored to the region where it’s held.
Each event is intentionally small, so you walk away with more than just notes; you’ll have real conversations, make new connections, and share practical knowledge you can actually use as soon as you get back to your desk.
“I do not exaggerate when I say that this event was downright fun. I can safely say that I never imagined myself laughing out loud at a presentation on pesticide residue test analysis, and yet, I found myself doing just that.” – Abby King, Certification Decision Officer, NICS
What makes acaDEMY LIVE! different?
Topics tailored to your region.
Each event addresses certification issues specific to where you work and the operations you certify.
Risk-based certification training
Every event includes training on a risk-based approach; a skill that’s reshaping how certification works.
Small groups, great conversations
Attendees consistently tell us the discussion-based format is what sets these events apart.
“One of my biggest takeaways was realizing that, no matter what space you occupy in the organic sector, many of us face the same challenges. I came away with some practical tools and a sense of connection to the broader organic community.” – Acadia Tucker, Product Review Coordinator, OMRI
What else do attendees say?
Jennifer Ludwig of OMRI put it this way, “NOP and its accreditation system are also supporting risk-based decision-making at the certification level and in accreditation. This means the regulatory and administrative body that regulates the organic industry is on board with this.”
“We are all in this together and we should remain apprised of what’s going on in the industry and ensure we are all on the same page.” Brett Maley, OMRI
