Yes, most course providers offer a variety of training courses related to ISO 9000. If you want to use a course to fulfill the training requirement of RAB's auditor certification program, make sure that the class you take is the specific course that has received ANSI-RAB NAP course accreditation. There are not specific courses for Quality Systems Auditor or Quality Systems Provisional Auditor candidates. Accredited QMS internal auditor training courses do not meet the training requirement for RAB's lead auditor, auditor, and provisional auditor certification program. There are separate, three-day training courses for internal auditor certification applicants.
Accreditations are valid for one year.
RAB's audit teams conduct annual surveillance audits of both the course provider's office operations as well as on-site visits to course offerings. Since then the group has expanded to include providers of accredited ISO 14001 courses. CPIF offers an opportunity for course providers to discuss issues and industry developments directly with RAB staff. The group, which meets two to three times a year, is open to all accredited course providers and those in application for ANSI-RAB course accreditation. All rights reserved.
