RABQSA ISO 9001:2008 Lead Auditor or ASQ Certified Quality Auditor, which certification is better to pursue and why? I've earned the CQA, is there a reason to add RABQSA?
I'd suggest you first ask yourself what you are going to do with this "qualification". To be an Exemplar or IRCA auditor really means either being a CB or SQA type auditor. To keep up the qualification, you have to be able to show external audits and also being a lead. When I was doing this, it was difficult to actually get those audit hours.
The qualification is overblown for internal use. The ASQ route is, as far as I can tell both more applicable, easier to maintain and, overall, less expensive.
