Topic #: 3
You are carrying out an audit at an organisation seeking certification to ISO 9001 for the first time. The organisation offers health and safety training to customers. Training courses are offered either as open courses, delivered at a public venue, or online, or as courses that are tailored to meet specific requirements.
The business operates from a single office and those who deliver the training are either full-time employees or subcontractors.
You are interviewing the Training Manager (TM).
You: "What quality objectives apply to the training process?"
TM: "One of the quality objectives we aim for is a 90% minimum exam pass rate for all open training courses." You: "How do you measure this objective?" The Training Manager shows you a record on her computer and you see the following:
Which two of the following statements are true?

Suggested Answer: B,D Vote an answer
In this scenario, the organization has set a quality objective of achieving a 90% minimum exam pass rate for all courses. The auditor's task is to assess whether this objective is being monitored effectively and if appropriate actions are taken when the objective is not met.
B: You would determine how the exam pass rate figures were analysed: ISO 9001:2015, particularly Clause
9.1 (Monitoring, measurement, analysis, and evaluation), requires organizations to evaluate performance data.
The auditor should verify how the organization analyses the pass rate data to ensure trends are identified, and corrective actions are planned based on this analysis.
D: You would determine what corrective action was being taken to address the low pass rates: When performance falls short of the objective, as seen with Course 4 (where the pass rate is below 90% in all months), Clause 10.2 (Nonconformity and corrective action) requires organizations to take corrective actions to address issues. The auditor would need to check if corrective actions have been initiated to address consistently low pass rates.
Statements A, C, E, and F do not directly address the monitoring and corrective action required under ISO
9001:2015 in this context.
