Training Provider Notice: Upcoming Temporary Suspension of the IAQG AATT Program

January 10, 2023 3:00 pm /

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 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.


For further updates about the 9104-1:2022 / 9101:2022 Delta program rollout and the upcoming updates to the AATT, please visit our IAQG Training Support Site at https://help.iaqgtraining.com/.

Release of the 9104-1:2022 / 9101:2022 Delta Training Program

January 10, 2023 3:00 pm /

Attention Auditors:

Due to the recent release of the 9104-1:2022 and 9101:2022 standards in English, IAQG ICOT is announcing the immediate availability of the online “9104-1:2022 / 9101:2022 Delta Requirements Training and Examination Bundle.” This training package is mandatory for all existing AQMS auditors. It must be completed prior to performing any audits to the 9104-1:2022 and 9101:2022 standards, and within 12 months of the training release date in the applicable IAQG-supported language. (For auditors completing the training in English, this deadline is January 10, 2024.) Additional languages will be made available in the future as Publication Bodies release translations of the underlying standards.

Only auditors who successfully completed either the 9100:2016 Delta Training Program OR the 9100:2016 AATT program (since its release in October 2017) can purchase and complete the 2022 delta training at this time. If you are in process or have not yet passed the 9100:2016 AATT examinations, you must do so before taking the 9104-1:2022 / 9101:2022 Delta training. The current AATT program will be temporarily suspended on April 30, 2023. All examinations and retakes under the current AATT program, including 9100, 9110, and 9120, must be completed by April 30, 2024.

The delta training bundle is $595 USD and includes an online Delta Requirements Training module, approximately four hours in length, covering all the changes and revisions in 9104-1:2022 and 9101:2022. Auditors must then complete a one-hour 30-question final examination. Upon passing this examination, auditors will receive a Certificate of Successful Completion that satisfies the update training requirements. Auditors who fail to receive a passing score must purchase and complete an online retake examination.

To enroll in the delta training, login to your account at iaqgtraining.com and purchase the “9104-1:2022 / 9101:2022 Delta Requirements Training and Examination Bundle” from the store. You must use the same account previously used to complete the 9100:2016 Delta Training program or AATT. If you have trouble accessing your account, please visit our Support Article at https://go.iaqgtraining.com/account-help.

Please note: the language on your AATT account must match the language(s) currently available for this program (English). Additional languages will be added as soon as translations of both the standard and this training/examination are complete.

This bundle’s final examination is proctored using Remote Proctor technology, which captures your computer’s webcam and microphone while you take the examination. To use this feature, you need a desktop computer, laptop, or supported tablet device that meet the criteria found on the 9104-1:2022 / 9101:2022 Delta Requirements Training and Examination Bundle page on iaqgtraining.com (linked below).

Upon completion of the final examination (or any retake examination) your Remote Proctor video and audio footage will be subject to review by authorized proctor personnel to verify compliance with all examination condition rules and guidelines. This review process may take up to two weeks. Assuming no issues were found in the review process, your results will be released in the order received, and you will be notified by email once available.

During the initial release of this examination in any given language, results will be held for an additional initial period of three to four weeks to verify aggregate auditor performance and make any needed adjustments to the questions and scoring prior to the announcement of results.

Expiration of IAQG Sanctioned 9100:2016 Series Update Training

February 28, 2019 12:00 am /

The IAQG-sanctioned 9100:2016 Series Update Training (9100/9110/9120) will be retired as of September 14, 2021. These delta trainings allow already-authenticated auditors to transition to the newest revision of the standard without having to re-take the respective full AATT training.

Who is impacted?
Auditors authenticated to 9100:2009, 9110:2012, and 9120:2009 prior to September 15th, 2018 and who continue to hold valid authentication. While these auditors can no longer conduct third-party audits, they can conduct qualifying second-party audits to the new standard, and these audits can be used for re-authentication.

Why this timing?
It was possible to receive authentication to the 9100:2009, 9110:2012, and 9120:2009 standards up to September 14, 2018. Auditors in this situation would continue to hold valid authentication with the potential to conduct qualifying audits, so this transition mechanism needs to remain available through the expiration of their authentication.

What action is needed?
Impacted auditors who wish to re-authenticate to the 2016-series standards using this IAQG-sanctioned transition process must purchase and successfully complete the relevant 9100:2016 Series Update Training programs (including any required retakes) prior to the retirement date.

What happens if needed action is not taken?
Impacted auditors who fail to successfully complete the transition process prior to the retirement date but wish to conduct audits to the 2016-series standards (or potential future revisions) will have to follow the same qualification process as new auditor candidates (see 9104/3).

Auditors with pending retakes who fail to successfully complete them prior to the deadline will need to follow the current AATT process for new auditors.

End of Support for Older Operating Systems/Browsers (effective May 2018)

March 6, 2018 2:27 am /

To comply with evolving Internet security standards and industry requirements, and in alignment with the support policies of the various web browser software vendors, we are changing our minimum system requirements effective 1 May 2018.

Please note specifically that this change discontinues support for Windows Vista and all versions of Internet Explorer prior to 11. If you are still using these older operating systems or browsers, you may no longer be able to access the website as of 1 May 2018.

Please see below for the updated system requirements:

Supported Web Browsers

  • Google Chrome 60 or newer*
  • Mozilla Firefox 52 or newer*†
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 11
  • Microsoft Edge 14 or newer*
  • Opera 34 or newer*
  • Apple Safari 11 or newer

* For web browsers with a rapid release cycle, including Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera, please use the latest supported version from the browser manufacturer.

† At this time, we do not recommend using Mozilla Firefox when completing IAQG Delta assessments and retakes, due to the issue described previously in this post. Changes to the website coming in 2018 will eliminate this issue.

Supported Operating Systems

  • Windows 7 or newer
  • Apple MacOS X 10.11 or newer
  • Distributions of Linux that support the aforementioned browsers

Additional Requirements:

  • Adobe Flash Player 27.0.0.187 or newer** on Windows, MacOS, and Linux
  • Adobe Reader DC or newer on Windows and Macintosh, or other compatible PDF viewer software (to view/print certificates and invoices)
  • Your monitor must support a resolution of at least 1024 pixels wide, and at least 720 pixels tall. On small/low-resolution monitors, we recommend running the browser in full-screen mode.
  • Your browser must accept “cookies” to complete the registration process.

** While the website will continue to function on many older versions of Adobe Flash Player from version 11 on, prior versions contain security vulnerabilities. To protect the safety of your computer while using the site, we recommend always upgrading to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.

NOTE: Some firewall software has been known to interfere with connectivity to this website. If you experience trouble connecting, but can still connect to other Internet sites, please try disabling the firewall software, or adding the iaqgtraining.com domain to the firewall’s exception list.
