Biomedical Auditor Certification

Step 1. Is this the right certification for you?

Here are the requirements and exam specifics for a Biomedical Auditor. If you already know this is the certification you want to pursue, move on to exam preparation.

Work Experience

You must have five years of on-the-job experience in one or more of the areas of the Certified Biomedical Auditor Body of Knowledge. At least one year must be in a decision-making role.

If you have completed a degree from a college, university or technical school with accreditation accepted by ASQ, part of the five-year experience requirement will be waived, as follows (only one of these waivers may be claimed):

  • Associate degree—one year waived
  • Bachelor’s degree—three years waived
  • Master’s or doctorate—four years waived

Degrees or diplomas from educational institutions outside the United States must be equivalent to degrees from U.S. educational institutions.

Examination

Each certification candidate is required to pass a written exam that consists of multiple-choice questions that measure comprehension of the Body of Knowledge. The Biomedical Auditor examination is a one-part, 135-question, four-hour exam and is offered in English only.

Examinations are conducted twice a year, in March and October, by local ASQ sections and international organizations. All examinations are open-book. Each participant must bring his or her own reference materials. Use of reference materials and calculators is explained in the seating letter provided to applicants.
