The MR doesn't have to have formal education regarding QMS or ISO 9001, the standard doesn't prescribe qualifications for the MR. New version of the standard doesn't even requires MR as a role in the QMS. For more information, see: What will be the destiny of the management representative in the new ISO 9001:2015? https://advisera.com/9001academy/knowledgebase/what-will-be-the-destiny-of-the-management-representative-in-the-new-iso-90012015/

2. Is is possible that the Document Controller become QMR or appointed as QMR?

Yes, but considering the usual duties of the MR, maybe it is better to have somebody from the production or some other core process in the company. On the other hand, Document Controller has experience with administrations so his or her contribution to the QMS can be valuable.

3. What are the Qualification to become a QMR

There are no formal requirements regarding qualifications for the MR, but it is reasonable to expect that this person is familiar with the standard and processes within the company.
