How an assessment proceeds

Criteria that can be examined, decisions that can be traced.

Every IAC assessment follows published criteria. Each stage leaves information that a reader can later relate to the record.

  1. 01

    Application and document review

    The applicant presents its activity and documentation; the review compares them with the applicable criteria.

  2. 02

    Assessment

    Qualified assessors examine how the activity operates and whether the evidence supports what is declared.

  3. 03

    Decision

    A decision separate from the assessment identifies what is granted, for which scope and under which conditions.

  4. 04

    Surveillance and public record

    Validity depends on ongoing surveillance; the published record shows holder, scope, status and validity together.

Professional competence

Lead Auditor: knowledge in practice.

Explore the catalogue

Explore the reference that relates to your work. The programme inquiry identifies relevant experience, assessment requirements and availability. Online payment and formal examinations are not yet enabled.

Competence is demonstrated through decisions.

Planning an audit, selecting information and explaining a conclusion require more than recalling a standard. Professional experience gives those decisions a context that can be examined.

Consult each programme for its requirements, assessment conditions and responsible issuer before presenting a formal candidature.
