Registered Quality Auditor

[Qualiman]

I need some clarification please:
To become an authorized Auditor (To lead/conduct internal audits and give seminars to people in order they become Internal Auditors), Is needed:
- To attend the 5 days course ($ 1500 US)
- Or is enough to demonstrate quality experience and skills, including "hours" in Internal Audits to a National authorized Bureau (for instance of Mexico) based on ISO 10011 part 2 ?

Thank you in advance for your help

Well,
You need a lot of experience in order to teach something and I know Qualiman you have it; but in order to conduct a registered training course IRCA or RAB) for L.A. or Internal Auditor to be certificated, most training companies require you, to be a Certificated Lead Auditor.
I have been teacher for an international training company and i had to comply with a lot of requirements before to become an qualified instructor.

Let me give an opinion to all the Forum Listen Marc)
Really this is the first time I have found a place where the people takes seriously the topics (Of course not sadly, because most of the time the enviroment is friendly, warmy and some times funny).
For the above reason, I am sure that is a great place to learn and share a lot. I am mexican and I miss in this Forum the participation of Spanish language people, exception made of few people.Besides of being "serious" most of the time you can "breath" an athmosphere of respect; that is fundamental to allow the people express themselves freely.

Just two questions :

1.- May we use some times a different language than English to point out or define better an idea directed to a friend ?
2.- How can we start similar forums in native languages in order to gain more participation of people that is not understandig english now ?

Thank you again, and let us continue participating in order to be better people in a better planet.

You may use any language you want at any time.

I'm not sure exactly what you want to do here. Anyone can 'rent' server space and start a web site, buy forum software and away you go.

I could open a couple of 'special' forums here but obviously I can't monitor such forums. It would be best (I believe) to use the existing forums - just post in the language of your choice.

I don't know if it will help much, but I have a 'Translator' link at the top of each page now. Just copy the URL you want translated. It appears to do an OK job.

IN THE UK AND I AM SURE IN THE US TO BE A QUALIFIED AUDITOR/LEAD AUDITOR YOU MUST ATTEND AN I.R.C.A. REGISTERED COURSE (USUALLY 5 DAYS) TO THEN BECOME A CERTIFIED AUDITOR YOU MUST MEET STRICT I.R.C.A. CRITERIA WHICH INCLUDES 600 HOURS OF STRUCTURED ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS AND HAVE CARRIED OUT AT LEAST 5 2nd PARTY AUDITS EACH OF AT LEAST 6 MAN HOURS ON SITE. THESE THEN MUST BE SUBMITTED TO I.R.C.A. FOR VALIDADION.

The RAB is the US equivalent of the IRCA, by the way.
