ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Internal Auditor Training

 

The ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Internal Auditor Training Course consists of more than 90 screen pages which examine and explain internal audit requirements germane to upholding the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. The course includes 13 quizzes, many of which ask the student to read a case scenario and then decide if there is conformance or non-conformance.  The student’s essay answers are submitted to and reviewed by one of our RABQSA registered instructors, via secure email.

 

The course also includes a link to the ANSI/ISO/IEC 17025:2005 standard in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf).  Students may either follow along with the standard on-screen or print the document as a guide to the course.

Example of a quiz from this course:

 

 

Conforming or Nonconforming?

 

Read the following incident and determine if a nonconformance exists.  Answer the five questions below and click on the "next" button to send us your answer.  Your instructor will send you their comments.

 

XYZ Testing and Calibration Laboratory management is very proud of its training program.  Over the past two years, everyone in the laboratory has been through 24 hours of SPC training, 4 hours of “Right -To-Know” training on chemicals and materials used in the laboratory, every manager and supervisor through 8 hours of “Basics of Supervision”, and all technicians were trained in “Six Sigma”

 

Plans for next year include 10 hours of training in Design of Experiments for everyone. To evaluate training effectiveness, the Training Coordinator randomly polls a few employees for their thoughts on training.

 

  1. Is there a nonconformance in the incident?
  2. What section and sub-clause of ISO 17025:2005 does it violate?
  3. If there is not a nonconformance, explain why.
  4. If there is not a nonconformance, what should the auditor do next?
  5. What objective evidence would the auditor need to ask for?
