LEARNING BY DOING
• After completion of the classroom training, the CFA’s will start on-the-job training.
• There will be a period where both the CFA and the adidas TS Auditor sample products for the same final audit, so that defects
found can be reviewed together.
• This will help to shorten the learning cycle by allowing quicker follow-up, whenever there is uncertainty about a defect.

QUALIFICATION PERIOD
• The qualification period will depend on experience and their ability to learn, but the CFA’s are expected to be conducting
independent final audits 3 months after the start of the training program.
• All training agenda will be reviewed with CFA during three months period by adidas TS Auditor .
• After three months of successful training, more responsibility can be passed on to the CFA’s, and the adidas TS Auditor can
conduct reduced auditing. The adidas TS Auditor needs to review all products produced by the supplier to plan and decide
which loads he/she would like to inspect him/herself. All PO’s should be inspected by CFA’s before adidas TS Auditor.
