RAB Approves 28 of 45 Transition Courses So Far

Auditor training is increasingly available to ensure that QMS auditors understand the differences between ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 9001/2/3:1994 and how to audit a QMS based on the process approach, but a number of courses have not yet received approval from the RAB, and RAB reports that the number of certified QMS auditors submitting proof that they took a transition course remains small compared with the number certified. Shanya Salamaca, Manager of Course Accreditation at RAB, discusses the RAB the course approval process, auditor training objectives, why auditors need to take a transition course and related issues. RAB’s "Learning Objectives for Year 2000 ISO 9000 Series Transition Training" are reprinted.
