ABOUT THE COURSE

BACKGROUND AND TOPICS

IATF 16949 auditors’ competence is of decisive importance: on the one hand, because they have to implement the IATF 16949 requirements in their own organisation in a focused manner and evaluate the effectiveness of quality management actions. On the other hand, so they can review their suppliers as to whether their QM system complies with IATF 16949. The certificate awarded upon passing the examination for certified 1st / 2nd party auditor IATF 16949 is issued exclusively by the IATF member VDA QMC or by one of our approved licensed partners.

TARGET AUDIENCE

The examination is for prospective 1st / 2nd party auditors of IATF 16949.

OBJECTIVES

1st / 2nd party auditors IATF 16949 are able to conduct internal and external system audits on their own. The examination and the accompanying certificate independently confirm their current and valid qualification in order to meet customer or supplier requirements with regard to IATF 16949 auditor competence.

CONCEPT AND METHODS

On the examination day, the participants are given a written examination with 40 questions, which they have 60 minutes to answer. Furthermore, prospective IATF 16949 1st / 2nd party auditors must pass an oral examination consisting of 30 minutes of preparation time and a 20-minute interview with two examiners. For preparation, the training material (including standards) handed out during VDA training is admissible and must be brought along on the examination day.

PREREQUISITES FOR ATTENDANCE

Admission to the examination is only granted after a successful review of the application. The prerequisites are an auditor qualification ISO 9001, at least three ISO 9001 audits within the past three years, at least two years of practical automotive industry experience and the successful completion of the training ”IATF 16949 – Qualification for 1st / 2nd Party Auditor” (ID 211).
