This is the appropriate class mentioned in the TVIB Auditor Membership Application as needed prior to obtaining an auditor credential. \nThis 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. \nRegister \nWho Should Attend \n\nAuditors who wish to become certified by TVIB to perform American Waterways Operators (AWO) Responsible Carrier Program (RCP) audits and Subchapter M TSMS audits. If you’re interested in certification\, you will need to complete and submit the auditor member application and application fee.
