Roxane,
Using one of my favorite phrases: assuming you were run over by a beer truck who would take your place as auditor trainer and what would be the qualifications? I have always felt that external training from a reputable source should be required. I would have thought the registrar would have asked to see written documentation on the qualifications and training required if you ever had to be replaced.
I used an outside consultant to do our initial training on the standards and auditing. He received his training from BSI. Since BSI eventually became our registrar we obviously did not have a problem. Our ISO representative at the plant also was a degreed auditor so we used his additional credentials to train others. Even if you have a CQA from ASQ, I would think formal training in the standards would be needed at minimum and probably lead auditor training.
