ISO/IEC 17024:2026 Transition Workshop – On-Demand Training

ISO/IEC 17024, the international standard governing requirements for bodies operating certification of persons, is undergoing its most significant revision since 2012. The updated 2026 edition, which was published in March 2026, introduces changes that affect how certification bodies comply with personnel certification requirements.

Hosted by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), this workshop will provide a comprehensive review of the changes to ISO/IEC 17024:2026, the rationale behind them, and practical guidance on implementation. This workshop is targeted for certification body executives, directors, and program managers.

Key learning objectives for the ISO/IEC 17024:2026 transition workshop:

Understand the Revision Context

In this on-demand training, the instructors describe the history of ISO/IEC 17024, the role of ISO CASCO Working Group 30, and the key drivers behind the 2026 revision—including technological change, global harmonization, and stakeholder feedback.

Identify All Substantive Changes

This training pinpoints every clause that has been added, removed, or modified between the 2012 and 2026 editions of ISO/IEC 17024 and provides a clear understanding of what each change requires of personnel certification bodies.

Apply AI Requirements

Attendees will learn to interpret the new provisions for AI governance in certification activities, including requirements for transparency, human oversight, validation, and disclosure.

Navigate the Harmonized Structure

This workshop maps the revised standard’s structure to the ISO/IEC 17000 series harmonized format and teaches how terminology and clause numbering have changed.

This workshop is ideal for personnel certification body executives, directors, and program managers.

Both instructors of this workshop served on ISO/CASCO Working Group 30, which was responsible for the development of this standard. Their expertise makes this training the premiere resource for any personnel CB needing to understand the new ISO/IEC 17024:2026.

If you are an ANAB-accredited certification body, you are required to transition to the 2026 edition of ISO/IEC 17024. Conformity assessment bodies (CABs) must have completed and submitted self-attestation to ANAB by Oct 1, 2026. This training is a valuable first step in the transition process.
