IOIA and OMRI are expanding the current series of NOP- and COR-based Input Materials trainings by adding a 100-level series.

Gain confidence regarding the role of input materials in the inspection process by accessing content for both newly trained and working inspectors. These courses offer inspectors the necessary material review knowledge needed to support organic certification, but will also be relevant to consultants, reviewers, and any organic professionals interested in input materials.

Courses will be delivered by OMRI materials experts in a webinar format. These trainings will be rigorous, with preparatory assignments and post-exams. 

Each IOIA/OMRI webinar is peppered with “Inspector Takeaways” and “Red Flags.” Content will also cover how to get the most from OMRI’s printed publications and online resources, with lots of opportunity for live Q&A. These trainings meet new requirements for continuing education in the Strengthening Organic Enforcement (SOE) Final Rule. 

Enrollment is limited to 20 people for each webinar. To register, use the links below.
