Private training

All our courses and webinars can be adapted into private training sessions for your organization. Alternatively, collaborate with our team of experts to develop customized training solutions for your specific needs. All private training courses are developed by the Agraya Academy team and delivered by our master trainers.

Certification body training

Certification bodies (CBs) wishing to become or remain Agraya GmbH approved must demonstrate the competency of their staff, from in-house trainers and scheme managers to farm and QMS auditors. The required trainings are managed by the Agraya Academy, but handled separately from our open access training courses. Certification bodies can access specialized training courses via the CB Academy platform (log-in required).

Producer training by Registered Trainers

Registered Trainers are agricultural experts who have been trained and examined by Agraya. With first-hand knowledge of the GLOBALG.A.P. system, they host independent courses with authorized training materials to support producers in achieving certification. These trainings are listed in the online Academy platform, but are delivered and invoiced by the Registered Trainers themselves.
