Becoming a Certified QMS Auditor is one of the biggest steps you can take to advance your career as an ISO 9001-based quality management system auditor. You will have more opportunities for work, become more attractive to certification bodies and other clients, and you will gain respect of your peers with this certification. You may even be able to raise your rates or get a raise after you attach the certified QMS auditor credentials to your name.

Becoming a Certified QMS Auditor will help you take your audit career to the next level. There are many opportunities for certified QMS auditors. As an employee, you can serve as QMS internal auditor, supplier auditor, or manager of the organization’s QMS audits. As a contractor, you can conduct third-party QMS audits, internal QMS audits for organizations, and serve as a consultant to organizations looking set up or improve a QMS.

Organizations are increasingly concerned about the competence of their auditors. Certification bodies must ensure their auditors act professionally, conduct accurate audits, communicate effectively, and meet the competence requirements set by accreditation bodies. Organizations certified to ISO 9001 rely on their internal auditors to accurately assess the organization’s QMS processes to maintain their certification.

The Certified QMS Auditor designation will help you demonstrate that you have the necessary knowledge, experience, skills, and competence to conduct effective audits. The investment you make in becoming a Certified QMS Auditor tells potential employers that are willing to invest in your career and a true professional.

Certus Professional Certification offers QMS Auditor certification for the following grades:

  • Auditor Provisional: Este grado es para las personas que han completado un curso de formación de auditores, pero que aún no cumplen los requisitos de auditoría que establece el Grado de Auditor (ver el siguiente grado). Se puede mantener la certificación de auditor provisional hasta dos años. Después de este tiempo, la persona debe pasar a un grado superior para mantener su certificación. Esta es una buena manera de comenzar tu carrera de auditor, ya que obtienes reconocimiento formal de tu formación y conocimientos.
  • Auditor:: Para aquellos que auditan de manera individual o como miembro de un equipo auditor.
  • Auditor Líder: Para aquellos que actúan como líder de equipos auditores.
  • Auditor Master: Para auditores experimentados con al menos diez años de experiencia como auditor líder. Este grado es para profesionales de la auditoría senior con un amplio historial de realización de auditorías, pero que ya no dirigen equipos auditores o auditan regularmente. Los auditores máster pueden pasar a desempeñar funciones de formación, consultoría o gestión.

Steps to Become a Certified QMS Auditor

The term “nonconformity” inspires fear in many people. It shouldn’t. A nonconformity is simply an opportunity for the management system to improve. It should not be viewed as an indictment of any person or group, but rather as a factual statement that drives improvement. Before we get any further, it’s helpful to provide a clear definition of what a nonconformity is. A nonconformity is the failure to meet a requirement.

It’s a short definition, but it packs a lot of power. The first thing you should notice is the prerequisite. You need a requirement before you can ever have a nonconformity. When we write a nonconformity, you always write the requirement first. It sets the tone for everything else. If you can’t find a requirement for a particular situation, then categorically you can’t have a nonconformity. You might have a concern, observation, remark, or opportunity, but it’s not a nonconformity unless it’s clearly tied to a requirement.

The second half of a nonconformity is the objective evidence. The evidence states exactly what the auditor saw, heard, read, or experienced that contradicted the requirement. The objective evidence is factual and traceable, but it is stated as concisely as possible. We can’t write a book detailing every minute thing that happened. A good auditor simply cites the evidence that fails to meet the requirement.

A child could write a clear nonconformity. It’s a simple one-two process. This is how the two halves of a nonconformity statement fit together:

  • Requirement: The company committed itself to doing XYZ. The commitment is a fact, evidenced by its presence in a procedure, plan, policy, specification, contract, work instruction, standard, or statement.
  • Evidence: The company failed to do XYZ. The failure is a fact, based on evidence such as records, observations, documents, or interviews.

No opinions are present in the nonconformity, just cold, hard facts. It’s hard to argue with facts. It also makes the audit go much smoother. Sure, facts may remove a degree of creativity that auditors exercised, but creativity is better expressed in other ways.

Writing effective nonconformities is one of the most fundamental auditing skills. Despite its fundamental nature, it is a skill that even the most experienced auditors struggle with. Here are a few keys that will help you write nonconformities as well as anybody out there.

  • Match the requirement with concise evidence. This is the single most important key. State the requirement and then provide the evidence that shows that the requirement was not met.
  • Write in complete sentences. This is what your eighth grade english teacher would have insisted on, and good auditing insists on it, also. Complete sentences, in both the requirement and the evidence, provides the customer of the audit with a complete product. This complete product is more likely to be understood, and thus more likely to be acted upon.
  • Include all applicable identifiers (what, who, when, where). It is critical that your evidence is fully traceable. This is achieved by including all identifiers: what the nonconformity was, who was involved, when it happened, where was it located, and how much was involved. This builds credibility in the evidence and allows the auditee to know exactly what needs to be done to remedy the situation. The only identifier that is not clearly stated are people’s names. We use job titles in the evidence, because we want to remind everybody involved that the audit is about the process, not people.
  • Use an economy of words. Writing a nonconformity is a balancing act. We need to include all identifiers, but we need to use an economy of words. As Shakespeare said, “Brevity is the soul of wit.” Not only is brevity the soul of wit, but it helps drive understanding. Ironically, including more words rarely increases anybody’s understanding of what you’re trying to communicate. Keep your nonconformity statement nice and tight. If you can remove a few words, while still communicating the essential message, then by all means do it.
  • State the facts, not your opinions. The audit is about facts. There is no need to editorialize as part of the evidence. This happens when the auditor tries to explain why the nonconformity is harmful or what the effects could be. This is not necessary. Just state the evidence and no more.

Here is an example of a well written nonconformity:

Requirement: SOP #QOP-32, revision 3, states in section 6.5 that employees must wear white gloves when handling finished product.

We state exactly where the requirement comes from. In this case, it’s a procedure written by the organization being audited. We provide the procedure number, revision, and even the section. Some auditors also include the procedure name, and this can add value too. Once we say where the requirement comes from, we state exactly what the requirement is. We don’t paraphrase it or get creative, we repeat the requirement word for word.

Evidence: The auditor observed two employees in the warehouse handling finished product without white gloves.

The language in the evidence mimics the language in the requirement. The organization committed to wearing white gloves when handling finished product, but the auditor observed two people not wearing white gloves. Cut and dry.

Here is an example of a poorly written nonconformity:

Requirement: All products must be identified.

There is no traceability to this requirement. Where did it come from? There is a similar requirement in ISO 9001:2015, but that source is not referenced. Always cite where the requirement is coming from, and never paraphrase it. It is permissible to add ellipsis (…) if the requirements is taken from a long passage and the entire section is not needed.

Evidence: Returned goods were missing the nonconforming materials tags, which greatly increases the chance of accidentally shipping bad material.

This evidence has a lot of problems, most of which can be summarized by saying the evidence is not traceable. Firstly, there’s no indication of where the returned goods were located. The returned goods are also not identified in any unique way. The quantity of returned goods is also not indicated—there could be two or 200, it’s not clear. Finally, the auditor included a lot of editorial opinion at the end of the evidence. This opinion is not needed and only serves to inflame the auditee. Stick to the facts when you write evidence and make sure the facts are fully traceable.

Auditors are held to a higher standard

It’s tempting to just say “Who cares?” when it comes to writing clear and correct nonconformity statements. After all, the rest of the world writes in a very informal manner. Grammar, correct spelling, and proper usage all seem optional these days. As long as the auditee understands what I’m talking about, it’s okay, right? Wrong answer. Auditors must produce a polished and professional product. Everything you write, say, and do is being scrutinized constantly by the auditee. Not in an attempt to disparage you, but simply to ensure that audit is credible. The output of the audit that gets the most attention are nonconformity write-ups. Even though nonconformities are not aimed at any particular person in an organization, auditees are still keenly aware that they represent failings of a sort. A requirements was established, but we weren’t able to meet it. Because of the high profile of nonconformities, they need to be written very well.

If you’re auditing with another person or as part of a team, make sure to have someone else review your nonconformity write-up. This is usually the role of the lead auditor, but really any set of trained eyes are helpful. Any rework that is necessary should be performed by the auditor who originally wrote the nonconformity. Recognize also that sometimes the answer is not reworking the nonconformity, it’s ripping it up. These are the conditions that usually result in a nonconformity being removed and not being provided as part of the final report:

  • Requirement does not actually exist
  • Requirement exists, but it’s outside the scope of the audit
  • Evidence is not traceable and it’s too late in the audit to gather the details
  • Evidence relies on hearsay, rumors, or second/third hand information
  • Auditee has presented evidence (after the original interview) that shows the requirement was met

This is a good time to address findings that fall outside the scope of the audit. They could be in a department/process that is not officially being audited, or they could be against a standard that is not being used in the present audit. For instance, we see something happening in the warehouse that constitutes a nonconformity, but the warehouse is not part of the audit. Or the auditors observe a safety violation, but the audit is against ISO 9001 and safety is not included. In these cases it is usually of verbally reporting the finding to your contact within the auditee organization. Verbally report it, mention that it is officially outside the scope, and ask him/her if they would like you to include it in the report. If they say “no,” then you don’t include it. The scope of the audit is almost a contract, and you don’t intentionally audit outside the scope or report findings that are outside the scope. It’s perfectly fine to make a note of the issue and follow up the next time there is an audit that includes that topic.

If you’re a management systems auditor, you’ve no doubt considered professional auditor certification at some point in your career. If you have decided against it, it’s likely due to perception of expense or complexity, or lack of a requirement to do so by the certification body you work for. If you’re thinking about becoming a management system auditor, you might have the same concerns.

However, there are valid reasons why you should consider professional certification, and it can be achieved for less money and hassle than you might imagine.

Certus Professional Certification offers a variety of management system auditor certification programs and grades that are both affordable to earn and maintain, starting at just $99 for provisional auditor certification. Plus, we never charge you for exams or require behavioral assessments.

Certification is a process by which an entity grants formal recognition to individuals that meet predetermined, standardized criteria. The certification process involves determination of eligibility, an assessment of demonstration of competence, and requirements for regular recertification.

Obtaining Certus Professional Certification is a great way for new auditors to demonstrate their knowledge, skills, competence, and commitment to third-party certification bodies. It’s also a great way for experienced auditors to demonstrate their ongoing commitment to their profession and continuing professional development.

Need more convincing? Ask a certified professional why they chose to get certified and they’ll tell you that the certification process is one of the single most important steps you can make in career development.

Here are 10 reasons why you should consider certification with Certus Professional Certification:

  1. Certification demonstrates commitment to your profession. Receiving a certification shows your peers, supervisors, and, in turn, the general public how committed you are to your chosen career, along with how well you perform to set standards. Certification sets you apart as a leader in your field.
  2. Certification enhances the profession’s image. Certification programs seek to grow, promote, and develop certified professionals who can stand “out in front” as examples of excellence in their industry or profession.
  3. Certification reflects achievement. A certified professional has displayed excellence in their field or industry and fulfilled set standards and requirements.
  4. Certification builds self-esteem. Certification programs create a standard for a particular profession, complete with performance standards, ethics, and career paths. You’ll see yourself as a certified professional who can control his or her own professional destiny and find a deep sense of personal satisfaction.
  5. Certification establishes professional credentials. Since it recognizes your individual accomplishments, certification stands above your resume, serving as an impartial, third-party endorsement of your knowledge and expertise. And when the public looks for individuals qualified to perform certain services, they seek individuals—like you—who have achieved certification.
  6. Certification improves career opportunities and advancement. Certification gives you the edge when being considered for a promotion or other career opportunities. Certification clearly identifies you as an employee or contractor who can adapt to changes in work, technology, business practices, and innovation.
  7. Certification prepares you for greater on-the-job responsibilities. Since certification is a voluntary professional commitment to an industry or field of knowledge, it’s a clear indicator of your willingness to invest in your own professional development. Certified professionals are aware of the constantly changing environment their profession faces, and they possess the tools needed to anticipate and respond to that change.
  8. Certification provides for greater earnings potential. As a certified professional, you can expect many benefits, but in today’s downsized, right-sized, topsy-turvy working world, salary increases speak for themselves.
  9. Certification improves skills and knowledge. Achieving certification highlights your individual competence by confirming proficiency, knowledge, and career commitment. 
  10. Certification offers greater professional recognition from peers. Hear that applause? It’s all for you! As a certified professional, you can expect increased recognition from your peers for taking that extra step in your professional development.

Value of Certification: Una certificación de alta calidad valida los conocimientos, habilidades y destrezas de un individuo en una profesión, ocupación, destreza o función definida. Los individuos certificados en la fuerza de trabajo reducen el riesgo y mejoran la protección del consumidor y la seguridad pública. Además, estas certificaciones permiten a los empleadores y otras partes interesadas identificar a los individuos con las competencias necesarias para desempeñar una función o tarea.

In the auditing community, the terms “certificate” and “certification” are unfortunately often used interchangeably. There is a big difference between the two designations. One recognizes that you have completed a training course. The other recognizes you as a professional who has completed a series of knowledge, experience, and competence activities and has ongoing requirements to maintain certification.

Let’s look at more formal definitions. The ANSI National Accreditation Body (ANAB) defines the two terms as follows:

  • certificate reflects completion of a training and/or education program and accomplishment of intended learning outcomes. Certificates are issued for life or for a specific time period, and cannot be revoked, which means they do not require ongoing maintenance or renewal.
  • certification reflects attainment of established criteria for proficiency or competency in a profession or occupation and is granted upon an assessment of an individual’s knowledge, skills, and abilities. Certification is valid for a specific time period. A certification program has ongoing requirements for maintaining proficiency or competency and can be revoked if ongoing requirements are not met.

Let’s look at another distinction from the Institute for Credentialing Excellence:

  • Certificate Purpose: Build capacity and recognition of a specialty area of practice or set of skills
  • Certification Purpose: Recognize professionals who meet established knowledge, skills, or competencies

But, in reality, does the distinction between certificate and certification really matter?” You might well ask, “Does the distinction between ‘shall’ and ‘should’ matter when auditing to an ISO standard?”

There are a multitude of auditors globally who claim to be certified merely by holding a certificate that essentially means nothing more than they have attended a training course. This is made worse by a leading personnel certification body (PCB) who is now issuing “certifications” to auditors who have done nothing more than submit a training certificate and paid a fee. The same PCB also requires nothing to maintain their certifications other than the payment of an annual fee. Essentially, they are issuing a certificate against nothing more than a certificate and calling it certification.

Let’s contrast this with the requirements for professional certification as outlined in ISO 17024, Conformity assessment—General requirements for bodies operating certification of persons, which states that: “A certification scheme shall contain the following elements:

a)   scope of certification;

b)   job and task description;

c)   required competence;

d)   abilities (when applicable);

e)   prerequisites (when applicable);

f)    code of conduct (when applicable)”

ISO 17024 further requires a detailed assessment process that determines the applicant’s competence. It also requires a recertification process that, “The certification body shall ensure during the recertification process that it confirms continued competence of the certified person and ongoing compliance with current scheme requirements by the certified person.”

So, when given a choice between an auditor who has a certificate and one who holds certification, who would you rather have conduct your audit?

Let’s say two candidates present themselves for an interview for a QMS lead auditor job. Both proclaim to be certified auditors. When asked for evidence of their certification, candidate one presents a training certificate; candidate two presents evidence of certification from a third-party personnel certification body. Which would you choose? Candidate two? Not so fast…

Unfortunately, as mentioned previously, there is a difference between PCBs.

Let’s compare the certification requirements for Quality Management System Lead Auditor at two PCBs: Certus Professional Certification and another PCB that I’ll call “PCB X.” 

QMS Lead Auditor Requirements

RequirementCertusPCB X
CapacitaciónTraining CertificateTraining Certificate
Audit ExperienceRegistro de Auditoría-InglésNinguna
Professional ExperienceResume or CVNinguna
AssessmentKnowledge ExamNinguna
RecertificationProfessional DevelopmentNinguna

So, if candidate two from the scenario above holds a certificate from PCB X, is he or she really any better than candidate one? If candidate two holds a Certus certificate, you at least have the knowledge that he or she has attended an auditor training course, has evidence of audit experience, has professional experience commensurate with the field of his or her certification, and that he or she has passed a comprehensive knowledge exam based on ISO 19011 and ISO 9001.

So, again, which candidate would you want to hire? More important, perhaps, is which candidate would you rather be?

If you are professional auditor who has completed all the requirements to hold true certification, do you really want to be lumped in with those who just completed a training certificate? Stand out from the crowd and transfer your auditor certification to Certus at no cost for up to 12 months. Learn how here: https://certuspro.com/how-to-transition-to-certus/
