The Professional Animal Auditor Certification Organization (PAACO) announced that it will offer the first in a series of training courses beginning in October to certify auditors to conduct the Common Swine Industry Audit (CSIA).
The first two training sessions will be held at the University of Minnesota Southern Research and Outreach Center in Waseca, Minnesota, and are scheduled for October 25-27 and December 6-8, 2016. In conjunction with this training, PAACO will initiate a new on-line registration process, and a new web based training called Swine 201. While this training is a required prerequisite for those attending the onsite training, it is also available for anyone to take who wish to learn more about the pork industry or for continuing education credits.
