Please help.
My customer wants us to have our internal process auditors get certified to VDA6.3 by a 3rd party institute to perform the internal audit against VDA6.3. Is this one of the requirements stipulated in VDA6.3?
Thank you in advance.

As far as I know there is no requirement for this.
I have had a number of contacts with German OEM's that have accepted VDA 6.3 audits from suppliers with out asking for this certification.
But if the customer requires then it is irrelevant if it is in the standard.

Not a requirement as far as I know in VDA.
How are your auditors trained and by whom?
Can your customer show you a written requirement for this? (might just be a wish). Discuss with your customer how you train your VDA 6.3 auditors.
At one of my clients, I trained 15 SQE in the 6.3 audit after receiving training and hands-on / observed audit by experience 6.3 auditor.

It appears that there is a major change going to be implemented in VDA 6.3 so I would check on this before you do anything

VDA6.3 IS SUPERCEDED BY ISO/TS16949.where such a requirement is not there.All that is required is that your internal auditors should be trained on TS16949-2009 by some trained person.
But customers can specify their special requirements ,you can make them pay for it.

No, this document covers process audits.

No, auditors must be competent. They must be trained by a competent individual.
But customers can specify their special requirements, you can make them pay for it.
True, you can try. Whether they will remains to be seen.;)
