In the GLOBALG.A.P. Online Academy all courses will appear here and remain also after having completed the exams. The reason for this is to enable exam updates. Please, note that there can be a lot of courses placed on the personal desktop, if several subscopes and/or more languages were assigned.
 
 
The titles on the ''Personal Desktop'' are course titles, what means that every course will contain learning materials, tutorials (eCourses) and at least one exam. Currently there are two courses are available in English. In all other languages there are only exams that have to be passed successfully in order to get approved for one subscope.

* Fruit & Vegetable
 
 
The exam can be started by clicking on one title. All relevant information and advises for attempting and passing the test appears.

Introduction

A key element of the GLOBALG.A.P. Standard integrity is the principle of identifying GLOBALG.A.P. certified producers as unique identities and recording all relevant producer and product information - including the certificate. For this purpose GLOBALG.A.P. operates a database of all GLOBALG.A.P. certified producers worldwide. This section introduces the database tasks managed by GLOBALG.A.P. approved Certification Bodies: registration of producers, products and certification of products. Crucial is the assignment of the GLOBALG.A.P. number (GGN) during producer registration. This 13-digit number is unique and belongs to the legal entity as long as it exists. It serves as a search key on the GLOBALG.A.P. website for validating certificates.

Training database

GLOBALG.A.P. is operating a training database, available for tests or trainings and works exactly as the “real” database. Note that the data is not saved permanently in this database and any actions executed in the training database are not invoiced. Data in the training database get updated monthly. Every employee of a GLOBALG.A.P. certification body can log in to the training database with the same login and password combination as in the regular database.
