Hi there,
Can anyone clarify me the below points,
1. As per ISO 9001:2008, Has company shall have Training plan for both Internal & External Trainings
2. If QAP is saying external plan to be documented, then internal trainings need not to be documented.
Regards,
Kumar D.
Dear Mr. Kumar,
ISO 9001 standard does not call for a procedure / plan (involving either external or internal training).
The training plan comes out of a PDCA cycle for training.
For effective training to be imparted :
1. Training needs have to be identified (which may be the output of skill matrix / competency mapping / development plans .....), training plan is evolved considering other influencing factors, training imparted and analysis made to check on the effectiveness of the imparted training
2. It is not mandatory to identify external or internal training, but would be helpful if you have a planning budget. But if you are skipping documentation of internal training (which is crucial and which will always be the main source for knowledge enrichment) just by mentioning some statement in your QAP, I would call it as a wrong practice.
I presume from your name that you are from India - please check your legal requirements (Factories Acts and Rules....) wherein so much of training is insisted upon and almost all will be internal training. How you will prove that you have conducted the training unless you "document" the training ?
