How does the  ZDHC CMS Framework Training relate to the ZDHC CMS TIG Training?

The ZDHC CMS Framework Training is what we call beginner's training. The training follows up on the Introduction to ZDHC E-Learning. It explains the ZDHC CMS Framework based on the ZDHC CMS Framework document. The training covers WHAT the ZDHC CMS Framework is and which requirements are part of such a framework. It does not, however, cover HOW you can practically implement the ZDHC CMS Framework. How to implement the ZDHC CMS Framework is covered in our ZDHC CMS Technical Industry Guide (TIG) Training. An advanced practical implementation training guiding suppliers in the implementation of the ZDHC CMS Framework based on the ZDHC CMS TIG document.

Yes, the ZDHC CMS Framework Training is always concluded with an exam. When passing the exam with 75% or higher, you will be able to download a certificate.

How long is my training certification valid for?

Your training certificate is valid for 2 years unless there are important updates or changes to the ZDHC requirements, which will significantly impact the content of the training.

I already have a training certification for the Introduction to Chemical Management Training of ZDHC. Do I still need to apply for the ZDHC CMS Framework Training?

Great to hear that you already have a certificate for the Introduction to Chemical Management Training. No, you do not need to re-apply for the ZDHC CMS Framework Training as you will already have learned the basis of a CMS Framework. We advise you to take your next step in training and register for the ZDHC CMS TIG Training.

Do I need to have my personal email address to do the training?
