Since 2016, Process Factory has been organising dozens of highly professional sessions at both basic and advanced levels. The international certificate of Chemical Management issued directly by ZDHC on passing the final exam has a validity of two years.

There are five types of sessions that Process Factory is currently organising thanks to its unique experience in the classroom and the field:

CMS Framework for Suppliers CMS Framework for Brands & Retailers CMS TIG Chemical Management for Leather Tanneries Top 10 Issues & Best practices Wastewater Management

The duration and format of each session depends on the way in which it is administered: 4 or 8 hours in a single day for classroom-based sessions, two-and-a-half-hour slots spread over three consecutive days for remote sessions.

Next to the normal training sessions, Process Factory also offers, tailor-made, private sessions for individual organisations. These sessions can be organised face-to-face or as remote training sessions and are reserved exclusively for the organisation’s staff and/or suppliers. These sessions are hosted on the ZDHC Academy platform and can only be accessed by people indicated by the company. The agenda is then defined in close collaboration with Process Factory.

This is an opportunity which not only allows the training to be calibrated to specific goals but also permits the direct involvement of company suppliers, maximising the advantages that only a process shared between the various components of the supply chain can really guarantee.
