SRP Authorized Training Program

Supporting the sustainability scale-up

The SRP Authorized Training Program offers guidance, training and technical assistance to extension services, implementation partners and farmers to support upscaling sustainable practices.

How the SRP Authorized Training Program works

About SRP Authorized Training Courses
SRP Authorized Training Courses are designed to build a cadre of persons qualified to conduct farmer outreach, training, and verification activities in support of SRP objectives.

Who delivers our courses?
SRP endorses selected institutions, known as SRP Authorized Training Providers, to deliver approved training courses and to administer course exams, which lead to successful trainees’ receipt of certification from SRP as an SRP Authorized Trainer. These individuals help further scale on-the-ground capacity building.

Our members’ promise
SRP members and Registered SRP Projects commit to using only SRP Authorized Training Providers and/or SRP Authorized Trainers for SRP-related training activities. This ensures high-quality implementation, consistency, and credibility of SRP-related claims.

SRP Authorized Training Providers (institutions) deliver SRP Authorized Training Courses.

Individuals who complete and pass authorized training courses (SRP Authorized Trainers, Verification Body In-House Trainers) may qualify to conduct farmer outreach, training and verification activities.

SRP publishes an online list of SRP Authorized Trainers and Verification Body In-House Trainers to support the needs of SRP members.
