Show your competence in the sectors where you audit

Certification bodies assign auditors by IAF/EA sector, so a general qualification is often not enough. QA Quality Academy assesses and attests auditor competence in one or more of the 39 IAF/EA sectors, from agriculture and food to construction, information technology and health care. Our certification scheme for persons is structured according to ISO/IEC 17024. It sets out clear eligibility prerequisites, an independent exam and assessment, a documented certification decision, surveillance and recertification, and a formal process for appeals and complaints.
