Plexus International’s “RABQSA-Certified ISO 9001 Lead Auditor with IAQG-Sanctioned Aerospace Auditor Transition Training to AS9100 Revision C” is focused on the training and development of the auditor candidates. Advisement, correction, discussion, information transfer and learning are the focus of the training session. Additionally, trainer evaluations of the auditor candidates’ performance and understanding are directed toward improving the candidates’ performance and understanding. Trainers are not to make final pass/fail determinations during initial parts of the training, but they are to collect performance data that assist them to make pass/fail determinations with regard to candidates’ performance and understanding. Final evaluation of the candidates is the result of the online examinations, interviews and the continual evaluations during the training session.
