Available across our full range of ISO management system qualifications, this final step provides you the opportunity to get your relevant Professional Auditor qualification certified.  

Achieving certified status demonstrates that you have applied everything that you have learned in practice and in your work.  

How will you benefit?

  • Achieve formal recognition that you are continuously applying all that you have learned in practice 
  • Stay connected to the auditing sector via CPD requirements 
  • Feedback from line managers/audit clients will mean your audit skills will remain at their optimum 

What will you achieve?

On successful completion, you’ll receive a Certified Professional BSI Mark of Trust that can be shared across your network of contacts. 

  • Unlike the Practitioner and Professional levels of the Auditor qualification pathway, there are no training and assessment components to complete to achieve Certified Professional.   

    You’ll need to have achieved an Auditor Professional qualification and have conducted at least three internal audits (Internal Auditor Certified Professional) or three full management systems audits (Lead Auditor Certified Professional) within the last three years.  

    Certified Professional status has a validity window of three years – at the end of this window, you will be required to reapply. 

    • Those with an advanced and active interest in management systems 
    • Those with extensive experience in internal and/or lead auditing 
    • Those involved in auditing, maintaining and/or supervising of a management system 

    Prerequisites

  • You will need to complete an application form that outlines your auditing experience and training and details of the three internal audits (Internal Auditor Certified Professional) or three full management systems audits (Lead Auditor Certified Professional) that you have conducted within the last three years.  

    For the most recent audit, you need to provide an audit log that captures the feedback from your line manager or audit client for whom you conducted the audit.  

    You will also need to provide an annual declaration stating that you have completed at least 15 hours of relevant CPD per year to keep your Certified Professional status active.
