What is Exemplar Global Personnel Certification?

While completing an auditor training course gives you the required knowledge and competencies, personnel certification demonstrates to employers, clients, and certification bodies that you also meet recognised professional standards for auditing experience, ethical conduct, and ongoing professional development.

Personnel certification is commonly used by auditors working in:

• certification bodies
• consulting organisations
• supplier auditing
• compliance auditing
• internal audit programs
• creating, implementing and maintaining management systems

Is Personnel Certification Required?

Not always.

Many Internal Auditors, Supplier Auditors, Consultants and Compliance Professionals work successfully without formal personnel certification.

However, personnel certification may be beneficial or required if you:

• want to conduct 3rd party certification audits
• wish to work for a Certification Body (CB)
• want formal professional recognition
• need to demonstrate auditor competence to clients or employers
• want to strengthen your professional credibility

Requirements can vary depending on the industry, certification body, scheme owner or employer.
