Since 1st April 2021, Auditor Qualification Training (AQT) has been a requirement for all auditors working with GWO certified certification bodies and training providers. The objective of AQT is to ensure auditors are sufficiently competent to assess that training delivered by GWO certified training providers is of consistent quality and in compliance with the relevant GWO standards. AQT is the initial step of GWO’s auditor professional development approach. This is followed after one year by a mandatory annual Auditor Development Training (ADT) refresher course.
• Entry qualification course for new auditors.
• The training is delivered by an experienced GWO auditor.
• Places are limited to a minimum of three participants and a maximum of six.
• A maximum of two participants from the same company are permitted on each course. Additional seats may be granted if space permits .
• Some reading and the completion of a questionnaire is required prior to the course.
• The cost of the GWO Auditor Qualification Training is €975; paid in advance.
• Successful participants of the AQT receive a certificate of completion.
• After successfully completing an AQT course, auditors must complete a further three-step qualification process based on their workplace experience. A full description of the auditor qualification requirements is contained in GWO’s Requirements for Certification Bodies. .
AQT courses are held regularly. For your nearest scheduled Auditor Qualification Training course, please view GWO events page.
