Class 1: Introduction to Information Communication Technology
This part of the training reviews the basics of performing remote activities using Information Communication Technology (ICT). The types of activities that can be explored by organizations will be reviewed. The do's and don'ts of doing work remotely (not in an office setting) will be shared. This includes working from home or remote, auditing from home and doing assessments from home. Tips for a successful activity are shared.
Class 2: Accreditation Body Assessments- Remote
The International Accreditation Forum (IAF) has developed an Informational Document (ID12) for purposes of performing remote assessments by accreditation bodies. The ID-12 document will be presented along with practical experience. The fundamentals of the activities that can be performed using Information Communication Technology (ICT) will be explored. With over ten years of experience performing remote assessments, the instructor will provide examples of activities that work and items that do not work. This part is focused on accreditation body activities.
Class 3: Laboratory and Client Audits - Remote
This part will review how the lab can prepare and work with an accreditation body and others to conduct remote activities using Information Communication Technology (ICT). Activities to be explored are: (1) internal audit activities of multi-location facilities, (2) lab personnel preparation for remote accreditation body assessments and (3) client visits/audits of testing activities.
