Question:
I have recently started work at a company that is registered to AS9100. My previous employer was registered to ISO 9001 and I was trained as an internal auditor.
What additional training is required to audit to AS9100? (other than learning the standard).
Does my previous training in internal quality auditing qualify me to audit to the AS9100 standard?
Are the standards for auditor different for AS9100 than ISO 9001?
Response:
The ISO 9001 and AS9100 requirement for internal auditors are the same; that the auditor be competent. The organization determines the competence requirements for its internal auditors. Typically, the competence includes both knowledge of the standard and internal audit methodology.
