Training dates for people desiring to become certified animal welfare auditors have been set for 2018 by the Professional Animal Auditor Certification Organization (PAACO).
PAACO, which is a leading organization for training and certifying animal welfare auditors on farms and at processing facilities, announced its dates for upcoming trainings, which are the first step toward certification. Each training includes intensive classroom curriculum which covers specie-specific welfare topics, combined with hand-on experience at plants and/or farms to prepare auditors for real-life situations. Attendees are thoroughly trained on ethics and protocols of auditing and what is expected as a PAACO Certified Auditor.
