WRAP, a leader in compliance certification and auditor training, has announced its 2012 training dates.

WRAP, an independent, global non-profit that certifies facilities engaged in lawful, humane and ethical production, teaches three-day internal auditor and five-day lead auditor courses certified by the International Register of Certified Auditors (IRCA). Additionally, WRAP also conducts fire safety training, monitor refresher and WRAP awareness courses.

WRAP also has available modular courses, such as health and safety in the workplace, root cause analysis, harassment and abuse in the workplace, and many others that help educate and improve workplace conditions in a variety of office and working environments.

WRAP conducts courses all year long and around the world. From monitor refresher courses in Turkey in January, to five-day lead auditor courses in India in April, to a three-day internal auditor course in Shenzhen in December, WRAP staff will teach more than 50 courses worldwide in 2012. Courses are taught in English, Spanish, Chinese and Bengali, depending upon the training location.

Stuart Webster, WRAP’s Vice President of Training and Education, oversees implementation of the organization’s training programs and also teaches many of the courses. Webster created WRAP’s training programs using an accelerated learning style and avoiding lengthy PowerPoint presentations. Accelerated learning utilizes visual, auditory and kinesthetic teaching styles to effectively engage and motivate participants and encourage knowledge acquisition.

Additionally, following a string of factory fires in Bangladesh over the past several years, Webster and the WRAP staff worked together to create a fire safety training program, an interactive course that trains attendees on fire awareness, prevention, evacuation and risk assessment, and culminates in a practical demonstration by local fire fighters. The course, which began in 2011, is taught in Bengali and is offered multiple times across Bangladesh in 2012. Additionally, an English version of the course will be offered in Dubai, Egypt and the United Kingdom this year.

“Thanks to Stuart’s efforts and the dedicated work of our staff of trainers, WRAP has developed a solid reputation as the go-to place for social compliance training. We anticipate increasing our training offerings even more in the months and years ahead. The growth we’ve seen in the training aspects of our program are certainly very gratifying, yet, more importantly, it demonstrates the increasing importance industry stakeholders place on social compliance issues,” said WRAP’s Director of Compliance Administration Avedis Seferian.
