2.2 Training course materials and curricula review
The curricula and course materials should be reviewed against the requirements of the IALA model courses and any requirements of the Competent Authority. The reviewer should identify any areas where the curricula and course materials have not adequately addressed requirements of the model course and Competent Authority requirements.
2.3 Review of instructor and examiner qualifications
Evidence of instructor and examiner qualifications should be reviewed to ensure their qualifications are suitable for the functions they perform. In the event that the Phase 1 assessment is performed at a location other than the Training Institute, copies of instructor and examiner qualifications may be utilised.
2.4 Review of internal audit program
The Training Institute's internal audit program schedule should be examined to ensure that a complete audit of the management system and training activities will be completed prior to initiation of the Phase 2 assessment.
2.5 Reporting
The results of Phase 1 assessment activities should be documented in a report. The report should identify the names of the documents reviewed, and summarise the results of the phase 1 assessment.
The reviewer should identify any deficiencies in the TMS documentation, course curricula or course materials. The Training Institute should be responsible for correcting the deficiencies and reporting the proposed corrective actions to the reviewer for acceptance prior to the phase 2 assessment. If the proposed corrective actions are acceptable, the reviewer should, by documented correspondence with Training Institute, indicate acceptance of the proposed corrective actions and closure of the documentation review.
3 Phase 2
Phase 2 consists of an assessment of:
・Audit planning and scheduling;
・Audit of the effective implementation of the documented training management system;
・Reporting.
3.1 Audit planning and scheduling
The Phase 2 audit should be conducted in accordance with an audit plan. The audit plan should be developed in co-ordination with the training institute, and utilising knowledge gained during Phase 1.
Where Phase 1 activities are conducted on site, the audit plan may be developed with the direct participation of the Training Institute at the close of the Phase 1 activities. Where Phase I activities are not conducted on site, the audit plan should be developed in liaison with the Training Institute.
The audit plan used for the assessment prior to the issue of an Accreditation certificate should be reviewed and up-dated as necessary for periodic audits.
