ISO/TS 16949 Certified Lead Auditor Training

This AQS Management System's RABQSA certified course is presented as a two-part blended learning class in association with QualityWBT Center for Education. Part I is web-based training (on-line class) and Part II is instructor-led (face-to-face training). Both parts must be successfully completed to meet RAB requirements for QMS auditors. Compared to the 36 hour (5 day) certified lead auditor class, the blending learning class offers cost savings and less time away from your home and job.

The class is for managers and auditors who want to 1) learn about ISO/TS 16949 requirements, 2) interpret the standard, 3) apply QMS requirements to their work situation, and/ or 4) receive RABQSA QMS auditor training. This class provides on-line access to ISO 9000 (vocabulary standard) and over 20 downloadable handouts such as: an ISO/TS 16949 checklist (TS 16949 8.2.2.4 note that checklists should be used when auditing), a Student Textbook Study Tips, a before class assessment and after class objectives, and so on. Students must submit an assignment for grading as part of part I of the class. Students must provide their own copy of the TS 16949 standard (purchase from ASQ or borrow from a friend). The subscription period for part I (the on-line part) of the class is 90 days. The registration fee covers the entire class (both the on-line training (Part I) and instructor-led 2 day class (Part II).

The instructor-led two-day class (Part II) must be started within 1 year of successfully completing Part I (e-learning portion). Part II is presented by AQS Management Systems as a 2 day instructor-led class on the application of specific face-to-face auditing skills. The face-to-face (Part II) class is offered every 60 days. Successful completion of both parts of the class will result in a certificate for 36 contact hours (3.6 CEU's).
