We want to help conformity assessment bodies that are interested in applying for accreditation with JASANZ information on the overall accreditation process, how much time it’s going to take and where to get assistance.

This guide will provide you with an understanding of:

1. the full JASANZ accreditation process is divided into 5 steps and how they connect,
2. what is needed to be done at each stage of the process to achieve accreditation,
3. the errors that applicants often make and how to avoid making them, and
4. what JASANZ responsibilities are during the whole accreditation process.

The purpose of this guide is to provide information about the accreditation process only. Completing it, does not guarantee a successful outcome related to future applications.

This course is ideal for a Certification Body seeking accreditation with JASANZ.

On completion of this course, you will receive a Certificate of Completion.

Emotional intelligence is now considered as important, if not more important, than technical knowledge and skills in the workplace. Emotional intelligence is defined as a set of competencies demonstrating the ability an individual has to recognise their behaviours, moods and impulses and to manage them best according to the situation. It is also the ability to use social skills to understand the emotions of others and use this information to support communication and relationships.

This course is designed for auditors and assessors to understand and strengthen their own emotional intelligence to be able to more effectively manage the interactions and communications with clients and colleagues.

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Demonstrate an understanding of the principles of emotional intelligence,
2. Apply emotional intelligence in an audit through self-awareness and social skills,
3.  Identify the impact of own emotions on others during an audit,
4. Use emotional intelligence to maximise personal performance on audit,
5. Communicate effectively with clients including managing conflict, and
6. Provide constructive feedback.

On completion of this course, you will receive a Certificate of Completion.
