IMPORTANT UPDATE (2023-08-17): Please visit the Revised 9104-1/9101 Transition Plan FAQ for updates related to the new AATT program and the temporary reinstatement of the existing program. The information in this news post is no longer applicable.
Update (2023-06-15): We updated this notice reflect that the expected launch date of the updated AATT program is now later in 2023. This change does not impact the other dates mentioned in this notice. We will provide further updates as information is available.
As noted in ICOT Supplemental Rule 004, IAQG is transitioning all AQMS auditors to be aligned to the changes in 9104-1:2022 and 9101:2022. The current version of the 9100:2016 Aerospace Auditor Transition Training (AATT) will be suspended in all languages effective April 30, 2023. The updated course will be launched in English shortly after this suspension (expected late-Q2 later in 2023), with other languages to follow based on standard publication and material translation timing.
Please review the points below for additional details about this transition:
Trainer/Evaluator Qualification Process
There will be a qualification process for existing AATT trainer/evaluators to align to the updated materials. As a first step, all trainer/evaluators must successfully complete the 9104-1:2022 / 9101:2022 Delta Training and Examination Bundle. This training is now available for purchase in English on the IAQG Training website, with other languages to follow based on standard publication timing. All trainer/evaluators are encouraged to complete this training as soon as possible once available in their language. Details on further qualification steps will be provided in the months to come.

Suspension of AATT Purchasing & Scheduling
Effective April 20, 2023, it will no longer be possible for prospective auditors to purchase 9100:2016, 9110:2016, and 9120:2016 Online Training and Examination products on the IAQG Training website, except for retakes. Additionally, it will not be possible for Training Providers to schedule any new 4-day 9100 AATT sessions on the IAQG Training Admin Site until the re-launch occurs in each language. If you already have AATT classes scheduled from May 2023 onward, please cancel them on the IAQG Training website. (You do not need to cancel retake sessions.) Circumstances permitting, these future dates could be re-added once the new AATT products are available for purchase in the applicable language.
Retake Process for existing AATT participants
Prospective auditors currently in the Retake Examination process, or who complete the AATT class between now and the suspension date, will have approximately one (1) year to complete any necessary examinations. It will not be possible to complete examinations or retakes for the current AATT programs after April 30, 2024. Prospective auditors who successfully complete retake examinations under the old AATT process will still be required to successfully complete the 9104-1:2022 / 9101:2022 Delta Training and Examination to conduct audits to the new standards. All auditors must complete this transition with 12 months of the Delta training being made available. Prospective auditors who have not successfully completed the associated course requirements by the deadline, or who exceed the maximum number of permitted retakes, will be required to follow the revised training process as a new participant.
