ISO/IEC 17024 Internal Audit Services: Complete Confidence in Competency Certification
Test the impartiality, exam security, and technical competence of your personnel certification processes against international criteria.
As an organization that measures and certifies the competencies of individuals, the accuracy of your own system is your greatest reference. The ISO/IEC 17024 standard requires exams to be fair, valid, and reliable. At FMD Quality, with our 16 years of accreditation experience, we don't just audit your system; we reinforce the confidence behind your certification decisions.
Why Should You Get a Professional Internal Audit?
Personnel certification is one of the areas where operational errors and conflicts of interest are most critical. An internal audit conducted by an expert provides the following:
- Enforce Exam Security: Identify weaknesses regarding the confidentiality of exam questions and the suitability of the exam environment before the accreditation audit. - Improve the Quality of Measurement and Evaluation: Analyze whether your examination methods (theoretical/performance) truly measure competence. - Maintain Objectivity: Professionally manage the fine line between training and certification activities and the risks of conflicts of interest.
Our Internal Audit Service Scope
In accordance with the ISO/IEC 17024:2012 standard, we rigorously examine the entire certification cycle:
