There are two identical sessions, morning and evening, on each day that training is provided.  Auditors only need to attend one training session on the day it is offered.

 

Who Must Participate?  Who Must Pay?

Previously, the recertification process involved physical attendance at a class offered and taught by GMA-SAFE.  Those who attended these classes were given a three-year extension to their expiration dates.  As of September 2009, this policy has changed.  Classroom-based recertification has been eliminated.  Instead, all GMA-SAFE certified auditors are required to participate in four of the six on-line Recalibration Workshops offered every two years. A modest $150 fee is charged.

Expiration dates will be honored for those auditors who recertified under the previous requirement of attending a classroom presentation.  Also, they are exempt from the $150 fee for the on-line Recalibration Workshops until after their current certifications expire.

 

Refund Policy

A refund of $125 will be given for cancellations 30 days prior to the workshop.  A refund of $75 is allowed for cancellations made at least two weeks before the workshop.  After that, no refund will be given.
