If you have completed CQA training and passed ASQ’s CQA exam, you will be certified by the ASQ as a quality auditor. To be a registered lead auditor, you must first take a five-day approved training program, pass the necessary exam, and then apply to the RAB or IRCA for certification as a registered lead auditor. NOTE: To attain registration as a lead auditor, you must pass the written final exam, earn a passing grade in the course’s continuous assessments, and meet prescribed professional requirements, which include conducting a number of actual audits. To become an auditor for an automotive registrar, additional training is required.
