New-standard courses — training exemption based on experience and expertise

When a new standard is published, no organisation is yet able to run a 20 man-day auditor training course. ITS therefore verifies each learner's experience and expertise and exempts them from the training course.

  1. 1Submit your work experience related to the standard (42001 · 53001) to the certification body (ITS).
  2. 2It is reviewed against ITS competence criteria for that standard.
  3. 3The verifying auditor's judgement decides final approval.
