Lead Auditor career

Answer: After passing the exam you will need to gain audit experience through performing audits for a certification body (this in fact is the most complicated part of the process). At first you start by participating as an observer, and after some audit hours you will participate more actively in the audit (as an audit team member, so you can gain understanding and experience in practical audits). After sufficient auditing hours, and good evaluations from your team leader, you can achieve the status of auditor and after that lead auditor.

Regarding the validity of the lead auditor certificate, you can extend the validity only by attending another course.
