In August 2023, IAQG announced a change in the transition timeline for the 9104-1:2022 and 9101:2022 standards. The existing transition timeline as found in SR004 Rev. B has been suspended and will be replaced by a new globally coordinated timeline that aligns with OASIS v3.
IAQG will be releasing a supplemental rule that details an updated transition timeline as soon as possible. For now, please see the links below for further information:

To prevent new auditors from being qualified to standards to which they cannot yet audit, IAQG is delaying the launch of the updated AATT program until such time as the transition has begun (revised standards are launched and OASIS v3 updates are ready). Therefore, IAQG is temporarily reinstating the previous 9100:2016 AATT program (aligned with 9101:2016), which had previously been suspended as of 30 April 2023. Effective immediately, all eligible Training Providers may once again schedule 4-Day AATT courses through the IAQG Training Admin Site.
The deadline for completing retakes under the previous AATT program, previously set to 30 April 2024, has similarly been extended. We will announce a new deadline once we are able to determine the revised transition timeline for the new AATT program.
NOTE: The previous version of the AATT program may only be delivered at in-person, human-proctored events. We previously mentioned that the new AATT program would also allow specially qualified Training Providers to use Live Virtual delivery (e.g., Zoom, Teams, etc.) and that all exams will be able to be delivered virtually. This is still the plan, but the change will only accompany the new AATT program whenever it launches, and not in this reinstatement of the previous program.
Trainer/Evaluators who already attended an AATT 2023 Pilot/Trainer Qualification event will not need further requalification, besides the already-announced Trainer/Evaluator calibration activity related to Interview Evaluation scoring (that will occur close to program launch). IAQG has stated that the planned updates to the standards are very minor, but if there are any changes of consequence that impact the AATT compared to the pilot, we will notify all qualified trainer/evaluators. We will update all AATT 2023 materials, including the Trainer Guide and Slides, to reflect any changes in the revised standards.
