Course Overview

The Certified Social Compliance Auditor course is a fully online, self-paced training program that empowers you to master the essential principles, practices, and regulatory requirements underpinning social compliance auditing. Social compliance encompasses the adherence to labor rights, workplace safety, environmental protection, and ethical business conduct, among other crucial aspects. With growing emphasis from governments, consumers, and global corporations on responsible business practices, the demand for skilled social compliance auditors has never been greater.

This course offers a practical and theoretical foundation that enables you to confidently assess and verify an organization’s compliance with international social responsibility standards such as the SA8000, the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI), and other relevant codes of conduct. Through a carefully curated curriculum, you will learn how to conduct audits that evaluate labor conditions, health and safety standards, environmental policies, and ethical governance in diverse organizational settings.

What You Will Learn

Throughout this course, you will gain a deep understanding of the core components of social compliance auditing. Topics covered include the social compliance framework, regulatory and voluntary standards, audit methodologies, and reporting requirements. You will also explore the roles and responsibilities of a social compliance auditor, including how to prepare audit plans, conduct site visits, engage with stakeholders, and effectively communicate audit findings.

A key focus of the course is the development of practical auditing skills, such as interviewing techniques, evidence gathering, non-conformance identification, root cause analysis, and corrective action planning. Additionally, you will learn how to handle sensitive issues like child labor, forced labor, discrimination, and harassment, ensuring audits are conducted ethically, objectively, and with cultural sensitivity.

The course also emphasizes risk-based auditing, teaching you how to prioritize audit areas based on risk assessment and how to use data to drive audit efficiency and effectiveness.
