Standards and Certifications
You take one order, one organic cotton claim, and the two documents buyers confuse. You see what each family of scheme attests, and why a certificate is a claim about a transaction rather than a property of a factory. You cover the four custody models. And you do the arithmetic that makes the same certification cost 6.02 times as much per garment on a test order as on a programme.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can read a certificate and say exactly what it does and does not cover, assemble the evidence chain behind a fibre claim, and tell a buyer honestly which of their asks you can prove today and which you cannot.
Who it is for
Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You build a claim file for one order. You write the four-part ask that replaces "are you certified?". You read a scope certificate for site, process, material category and dates. You reconcile kilograms from yarn to pieces. You build a break-even sheet for the three cost shapes. And you keep a claim register saying which asks you can evidence and which you must decline.

Best taken after 1.2 Man-Made and Synthetic Fibres. You can read this one without it. Some of the arithmetic will just have to be taken on trust.
