What Does Dual Certification Mean — and Why It Matters?

Cavendish Scott’s Internal Auditor course is uniquely dual-certified — recognized by both IRCA and Exemplar Global, two of the world’s most respected auditor training authorities.

  • IRCA (International Register of Certificated Auditors) is the world’s largest and most recognized certifying body for auditors. An IRCA-endorsed certificate demonstrates global credibility and is often a requirement for organizations seeking to build qualified internal auditing teams.
  • Exemplar Global is a prestigious personnel certification body that provides professional recognition across a range of industries. Certification from Exemplar Global includes a digital badge and access to their Competency Directory, helping professionals stand out in the marketplace.

By completing this course, you will receive:

  • A certificate issued by Cavendish Scott bearing the IRCA logo, confirming that the training meets IRCA’s stringent international standards.
  • A second certificate bearing the Exemplar Global logo, providing recognition within Exemplar Global’s competency framework.

The result?  You leave with two respected credentials — not just one — without extra effort or cost. This dual certification is a rare offering in the training market and one that makes Cavendish Scott’s program especially valuable for professionals seeking broader recognition and career mobility.

This was by far the best auditing class I’ve attended and should we need more students trained, Cavendish Scott will be our choice for trainers. The interaction and exercises were phenomenal and the fact that we got audits completed that we can count towards our yearly schedule was a definite plus.

It would have been a difficult course for most of us if it weren't for your patience and teaching skill. You have made us all better stewards of the taxpayer's money by making us proficient auditors.

I had no previous knowledge of the auditing process prior to the course. I now feel much more confident in my understanding of the audit process and ability to perform internal audits.

I loved the exercises! They were very effective practice tools for practicing skills needed to conduct audits. The live audits were also a great way to introduce us to the process of conducting an audit without the pressure of doing it on our own. Since it took place during the training and we had an instructor to guide us, doing our first audit was quite easy!

This course took me from little to no familiarity with ISO 9001:2015 to walking away feeling like I had a very good grasp on the standard and the process to audit against it.

The trainer was incredible. She made the course a blast to participate in. Knowledgeable and extremely personable. After taking the course am interested in continuing my knowledge gathering about audits.

I liked the way the trainer broke down the standard into smaller bite sized portions that made it so much easier to understand. AS9100 is not the big monster anymore.
