No training records

Does an organization have to have any training records at all? Can they grandfather themselves in under ISO 9001:2008 or when they transition to ISO 9001:2015? They say they have years of experience which they do, but have ZERO training/competency records of any sort. No quality policy training, no training on 9001:2008, 9001:2015. If you request a training record, they have zero. Is this acceptable?

Answer:

In theory, the organization doesn't have to have any training records. For example, if it has only low skilled workers that do not need any training, then the company can have a certificate without any training record. The standard requires organization to retain appropriate documented information as evidence of competence. This means that the company needs to have at least some evidence of employee's competence such as college degrees, high school diplomas, licences, etc. but they do not have to have training records if they determined that no training is needed. There is no requirement for employees to attend training on the polic y or the standard itself, but if they attended any training, there should be a record about it.
