Additional Information:

Those who pass will receive a certificate of successful completion, which satisfies the training requirement for individual QMS auditor certification by RABQSA. Those who do not pass will receive a certificate of attendance.

Prerequisites: A self-study will be sent out prior to the beginning of the course and needs to be completed and returned prior to attending the course. No prior knowledge of the standard is required.

There are two elements involved in the evaluation and examination for successful completion of participants of this course:
1) The continual evaluation of the student's attitudes, auditing capability, performance as team members during role-playing, and communication skills (this is done independently by all instructors involved with the class).

2) A written examination which covers the content of ISO 9001 and the application of audit principles and practices to ISO 19011. Seventy-five percent of the examination grade is based on questions that require essay responses that test comprehension of the audit process and the application of ISO 9001. The remainder of the examination grade is based on multiple choice, true/false, or short answer questions.

Note: The time allotted for taking the examination is two hours. Strict adherence to the time limit is to be maintained. However, the trainer may allow up to 30 additional minutes for taking the written examination for a student whose primary language is not the language in which the course is conducted, or a student with a particular disability that adversely affects the student's capability to complete the examination in the allotted time. The only reference materials allowed during the examination are a copy of the ISO 9001 standard, workshop materials provided by Plexus Corporation and any personal notes made by the student during the workshop.
