Internal Auditor Qualifications, TS16949:2002 ?
I am curious as to how others are handling the internal auditor qualification? In the past we have just sent our auditors to training courses offered by our CB.
With the introduction of TS16949:2002, my company is looking at other ways to support an auditors qualifications. In ISO 10011-2, Qualification criteria for quality systems auditors, there is no requirement of a formal training course to qualify auditors.
Since all of our auditors had attended QS9000 training by our CB, it was suggested that we couple that training with in-house training on the gap analysis of QS-TS.
Basically, we would train, in-house, the gap analysis that was performed, with a focus on the process aspect and combine that with our prior QS9000 auditor training.
Would this work? How is everyone else handling this (aside from spending $1000 per auditor to send them to the training.)
