In particular, more from their assessors (regardless of which accrediting body).....

I know this would usually go in the certification forum, but since the effect is on accredited labs primarily, I thought I would put it here first.

A new personnel certification has been developed and will be released soon for certification of ISO/IEC 17025 assessors. It is a rigorus document and should serve to "raise the bar" of professionalism for accreditation assessors.

As soon as I have the press release I will post it, and provide some additional background as appropriate.

Greetings Hershal,

Thanks for the post. I am most interested in certification.
ACLASS last month offered a course however I was unable to attend.
I was most disappointed.
I am exceedingly interested in this as my employer very recently purchased the assets of another company for which I am responsible for achieving accreditation. I hope to have everything completed by our reassessment in March. I intend to have all three locations done at one time. :mg:
It will save on my travel costs at least. My brain will pay a high price tho…..:bonk:

So.. If you hear of any certifications preferably east of the Mississippi, please let me know.

Thanks.

Thanks for the information. Please keep us informed.

Also is there discussion of having the similar training for ISO 17020 and Guide 65? I have taken courses in through an AB for both 17020 and 17025.
