AOSCA is pleased to announce its new Inspector Credentialing Program with the purpose of equipping seed certification field inspectors with the technical skills, regulatory knowledge, and practical experience necessary to perform inspections at the highest standard.
- The training program is a two part process that allows each inspector to credentialed in particular crop kinds. Participants must register for the 5 virtual sessions and separately register for each crop-specific in-person training for which they seek credentials. To obtain the credential and certificate, each participant must participate in ALL virtual in order to participate in the in-person crop-specific training.
- Please note, virtual sessions will only be offered every other year. We encourage you to register for the virtual sessions even if you are not planning an in-person session until 2027.
- At the completion of each crop-specific training, participants will receive a certification certificate for each in-person crop kind that they successfully participate.
- See below for virtual and in-person training dates. For additional questions, please reach out to office@aosca.org.
