The Reserve has scheduled the U.S. and Canada Biochar Protocol verification training. This is a mandatory course for Lead Verifiers wishing to perform verification of biochar projects. To receive Lead Verifier certification for this project type, you must pass the course examination. This training will be comprised of:

• Two-2-hour live sessions, and
• A recorded lecture that must be completed asynchronously
• Homework to be completed before accessing the recorded lecture
• Exam to be completed after the two live sessions

The live training sessions will be held on Tuesday, April 30 and Wednesday, May 1, from 9am – 11am PT. Registrants are required to attend both live training sessions. The lecture portion of the training will be provided to registrants one week prior to the live sessions and is required to be completed prior to the first live session. Due to the format of this training, registration will close on Friday, April 19th.

Interested verifiers must register for both live sessions:

• Tuesday, April 30 from 9am – 11am PT: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ZkPbjt5_TMikruG4HvSw3A (payment for the training will be completed via this link)
