What is needed to prepare certification audit

Answer:

When you wrote “Already we had ISO 9001:2008” do you mean your college is certified according to ISO 9001:2008? If the answer is yes, my advice is to contact your Certification Body and ask this question. If the answer is no, your college will have to contact several certification bodies and request proposals, at the same time you can ask this question.
Normally, certification bodies ask for number of employees, working schedules, number of locations, certification scope and request a quality manual or any set of documents that describe the quality policy, the process map, quality objectives and relevant docu ments.
