Course Overview

The new 2026 revision of ISO/IEC 17024 is here, and in this self-paced course certification body staff (as well as scheme owners, quality and compliance managers, and assessors) will learn what changed, why those changes were made, and what evidence assessors will expect to see.
Led by Dr. Vijay Krishna (who participated in the ISO revision process), and Dr. Adrienne Cadle (an ANAB lead assessor and Working Group 30 member), this course distills expert facilitation into eight focused sessions you can complete on your own time.
This is not an introduction ISO/IEC 17024. This course assumes you already understand the fundamentals of ISO/IEC 17024. The focus is on the substantive changes between the 2012 and 2026 versions of the standard. Specifically, which clauses have moved, changed, tightened, or appeared for the first time in the 2026 revision. The changes are translated into practical, real-world guidance so you can answer the question that matters most: “What will I need to demonstrate conformance?”

In This Course You Will Learn

  • The substantive changes between the 2012 and 2026 versions of ISO/IEC 17024.
  • Application of the revised requirements to certification body operations.
  • The documentation, records, and processes must be updated to meet the new standard.
