The updated IAQG-sanctioned 9100:2016 AATT Online Component was released on 19 October 2017. The initial release is in English only with other IAQG-approved languages to be released separately. The Online Component is a prerequisite to attending the updated IAQG 9100:2016 AATT face-to-face training course.

NOTE: The 9110:2016 and 9120:2016 AATT Online Components with Final Examinations are still in the revision process at this time. The release schedule will be announced at a later date.
Attention Auditors:
In accordance with Supplemental Rule 003 paragraph 8c, which identifies that “TP’s shall not deliver SMS approved training that includes previous versions of the AQMS standards after June 15, 2017,” IAQG OPMT has directed that all AATT 9100, 9110, and 9120 classes and examinations not currently in progress or committed be suspended so that the training programs can be reviewed and revised. (NOTE: This change does not affect the 9100:2016 series Delta Training programs for already-authenticated auditors.) Please note the following suspension schedule:
Suspension of Online Sale and Scheduling of Current 9100/9110/9120 Online Training Courses/Final Examinations and Bundles:
June 7, 2017
Suspension of Current 9100 Classroom Training and proctoring of 9110/9120 Final Examinations by all Training Providers:
June 15, 2017
Suspension of Current 9100/9110/9120 Retake Examinations:*
June 15, 2018
* Auditors currently in the Retake Examination process will have approximately one (1) year to complete the necessary examinations. It will not be possible to complete examinations or retakes for the current programs after the indicated suspension date.
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. Details of the process for new prospective 9100/9110/9120 auditors will be made available at a later date. All auditors who have successfully completed the AATT 9100 series programs are eligible to complete the 9100:2016 series Delta Training, available now on the IAQG Training website. It is expected that AATT courses for new auditor candidates will be available again with revised materials within three to six months.
If you recently purchased any of the 9100/9110/9120 Online Components, and have not yet begun your online coursework, you may be eligible for a full refund. If you purchased these component(s) and have begun your online coursework, or completed your online coursework but have not attended an AATT instructor led training, please contact purchases@nulliaqgtraining.com for determination on refund eligibility.
June 15, 2017 marks a very important date for the Aviation, Space and Defense certification scheme. In accordance with Supplemental Rule SR-003, all new 9100, 9110 and 9120 audits are to be conducted to the new standards.
The IAQG OPMT wanted to provide an update on the status of auditor transition and the actions taken to assist the auditor population in successfully completing the transition.
In addition to the communications and activities conducted by the certification bodies, the IAQG OPMT has initiated various communications in an attempt to ensure successful completion of the transition activities.
Two recent communications that auditors may find helpful include the following materials:
Auditors are also encouraged to review the deployment support materials that have been developed by the IAQG Requirements Team and available at: https://www.sae.org/iaqg/organization/requirements.htm#oversight.
In addition, as a result of a request from the Independent International Organisation for Certification (IIOC), the OPMT has eliminated the maximum number of retakes and reduced the wait period between retakes to 24 hours. These changes were implemented on May 18, 2017.
These changes apply to all 9100:2016 series auditor training assessments, including the:
The goal of the IAQG OPMT is to provide an effective and convenient approach for currently authenticated auditors to complete the required training while also ensuring effective audits and audit reporting. We continue to monitor the results and take actions to ensure that our goals and the goals of the various interested parties are achieved as effectively and efficiently as possible.
Effective 18 May 2017, the IAQG OMPT has rescinded the limit on retake attempts, and changed the mandatory wait period to 24 hours after each attempt.
These changes apply to all 9100:2016 series auditor training assessments, including the:
If you are currently in the retake process, please note that your wait period has been adjusted to align with the new wait period of 24 hours after your previous attempt.

The following communication is intended to provide an update on:
CURRENT TRAINING STATUS:
With the launch of the 9110:2016 training modules in French, German, Italian and Spanish on March 22, 2017; all training, in all agreed languages are now available.
The following summarizes the completion status for 9100:2016; 9110:2016 and 9120:2016 as of March 19, 2017.
| Program | Total Purchases | Successful Completions (Certificates Issued) |
| 9100:2016 | 1068 | 596 |
| 9110:2016 | 75 | 25 |
| 9120:2016 | 180 | 61 |
The OPMT continues to monitor the above ratio of Total Purchases to Successful Completions in order to gage training progress, effectiveness and auditor resources. Auditors are encouraged to be diligent in their efforts to complete this training as soon as possible.
It is recommended that auditors that have successfully completed the AATT course and are interested in taking the training modules reference the IAQG OASIS email that was sent out on January 13, 2017 for early lessons learned and key take-a-ways that may assist in preparing for these courses. Auditors may access the IAQG Training site at https://www.iaqgtraining.com/store/offers-delta for information on purchasing these courses.
UPGRADING AUDITOR AUTHENTICATION:
Once the auditor has successfully completed the 9100:2016, 9110:2016 or the 9120:2016 module(s) it is critical that he/she provides evidence of successful completion of the required sanctioned transition training to the Auditor Authentication Body (AAB) responsible for their existing authentication, in accordance with SR-003 paragraph 6b. This will allow the AAB to upgrade the auditor’s status in OASIS and qualify the Auditor to complete audits to the updated standard(s).
NOTE: If you already passed the program and sent this evidence to your AAB, no further action is required.
CRITICAL DATE APPROACHING – JUNE 15, 2017:
In accordance with SR-003, no initial, surveillance or recertification audits shall be started to the previous versions of the AQMS standards after June 15, 2017. Auditors that have not been authenticated to the new standard by the June 15 date will no longer be qualified to conduct initial, surveillance or recertification audits to the 9100, 9110 or 9120 standards. It is critical to the auditors and the aviation, space and defense supply chain that auditors do not delay in achieving authentication to the new series of standards.
OPMT Actions:
OPMT continues to monitor completion ratio of the training.
There are no plans for any changes to the curriculum or testing process at this time. The OPMT remains committed to ensure a robust and effective training program is maintained that will improve the competency level of the authenticated auditors in the ICOP scheme. IAQG-OPMT members recognize the efforts and greatly appreciate everybody’s support of this process.
This email was sent to all OPMT OP Assessors registered in OASIS on 13 January 2017. It is reproduced here for reference.

9100:2016 Forms and Audit Reporting Assessment:
The training developer has agreed to make this change retroactive and will be communicating these changes as well as the remediation plan for addressing those impacted by these changes in the next days.

[This post was updated on 22 March 2017 to reflect the launch in French, German, Italian, and Spanish.]
On 24 January 2017, Mozilla released Firefox 51, and this update is being deployed automatically to computers using Firefox. We have recently been made aware that this browser update causes a problem when completing exams on the IAQG Training platform when on Windows and using a Hi-DPI display configuration.
If you are using a Hi-DPI display configuration, you will receive a notice with a yellow bar at the top of your window upon entering the training or assessment.
Impacted Configurations: Firefox 51 or newer, on Windows 7 or newer, on a Hi-DPI display configuration (also known as “DPI Scaling”).
Issue: When clicking on the answers for multiple choice questions, the associated checkbox or radio button may not always activate or deactivate. In some cases, the checkbox for a previous answer may activate/deactivate, or a different radio button than the one you intended to select may become selected.
Workarounds:
We are working to further diagnose this issue that was introduced in Firefox 51 and newer, and hope that we can provide an update to our training software as soon as possible that will bypass the problem.
UPDATE: We have confirmed that this issue remains a problem in Firefox 52, and have updated this news post accordingly.
