TSMS Auditor Certification Course

TSMS Auditor Certification Course – 3 DAY COURSE

Our TSMS Auditor Certification Course is for auditors who wish to become certified by TVIB to perform audits of Towing Safety Management Systems to verify compliance with Subchapter M. The American Waterways Operators (AWO) Responsible Carrier Program (RCP) has been approved by the Coast Guard as approved existing safety management system, and as such, this auditing course will cover some elements of the RCP as well. This is the appropriate class mentioned in the TVIB Auditor Membership Application as needed prior to obtaining an auditor credential.

This course focuses on training both internal and third party auditors how to use the TVIB audit process, which was developed to meet ISO 19011 Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems, and tailored for the unique situations auditing under Subchapter M and the RCP. It covers auditing both management system and the vessels that operate under those systems. It is open to members and non-members alike. This course is a hybrid of online and in-classroom learning, with many practical exercises designed to allow students to practice all aspects of auditing. Course attendees will also take an online session prior to coming to class.
