• Totally you have to have at least 4 years working experience. This experience should be full time and practical, the work should be at an automotive organization which is applicable for IATF 16949 certification scope.
• Among these 4 years, you must work on QA or QM function more than 2 years.
• These 4 years working experience should be obtained in the recent 10 years. For example, if you worked as QM in automotive industry for 6 years in 12 years ago, but after that you work in a non-automotive industry, that 6 years of experience will not be counted.
• You don’t need 10 years or working experience, 4 years is sufficient if it meet above requirements.
