What problem does this diploma program address?

Major international retailers and markets require fruit, vegetable, grain, flower, and livestock producers to hold GLOBALG.A.P. certification to sell their products. Without this certification, primary products are excluded from the most important supply chains. Many producers and technicians are unfamiliar with the standard’s specific requirements, critical control points, required documentation, and how to prepare for successful audits.

If you are an agricultural producer, extension technician, quality manager, or farm manager, you know that GLOBALG.A.P. certification is the key to accessing demanding markets. This diploma program provides you with comprehensive mastery of the GLOBALG.A.P. Standard for primary products to certify your farm and access new markets.

What will you achieve by the end of the program?

By completing the program, you will earn certification demonstrating your mastery of the GLOBALG.A.P. Standard. You will be able to implement the standard’s requirements on your farm, manage required documentation, control risks in soil, water, and crops, safely handle crop protection and veterinary products, prepare for certification audits, manage nonconformities, and maintain certification through continuous improvement. Your farm will be recognized as a preferred supplier by major global retailers.
