Auditor registration process
Completing a course and becoming an auditor are two different things. Here is the whole path, in order.
Before you start
A training certificate only proves you took the course. Auditor qualification is assessed separately — education, work experience and audit experience.
🔴 You must complete auditor registration within three years of the certificate’s issue date. After that the certificate lapses and the course must be retaken.
The whole process on one page
Training and qualification are handled by different bodies. The colours show which.
🔴 From here you have three years to finish registration
After three years the certificate lapses and the course must be retaken.
