Becoming an ISO 9001 trainer
I am a Lead Auditor of ISO 9001 and currently work as an auditor. I'd like to understand how I may move into training the standard, at Foundation level only. Can you offer any insight into the path of becoming a trainer and being approved to issue foundation course certificates etc?

If you were in my country, I would advise you to:
- get a trainer certificate;
- and promote your expertise and experience as auditor as a basis for your skills as trainer. Find a way of documenting and giving credibility to your knowledge and preparation. Potential clients must be aware of your competence. About competence: Can you provide evidences of experience as auditor? Can you provide evidence of training as auditor? Can you provide evidence of certification as auditor and trainer to provide image and credibility?
Potential clients must be aware of your existence. You must develop your own brand by evidencing your knowledge and experience. You evidence your knowledge when you write. You should write. Share what you know, share your experience and results, share testimonies of your clients about the outcomes of working with you. Use blogs, professional networks, trade magazines, use your LinkedIn profile, make presentations at conferences. And don’t forget to develop a network of contacts.
