Didn't anybody pay attention to what the OP posted? He said that he had been certified as a Lead Auditor by BVQI...Since when did BVQI certify people as any kind of auditor other than their own staff? BVQI certifies management systems and offers Lead Auditor training as do many other organizations. Our friend is probably under the mistaken belief that taking a course and passing a test means that he is certified, which is as about as far from the truth and fact as you can get.
Pard, just a piece of friendly advice, if you don't know the difference between passing an exam and achieving an actual certification as a management systems lead auditor you might be best served in reviewing your decision about consulting because someone could put you to task for that claim.
