5. Welcome: On behalf of the IAQG President - Xavier Sahut D’Izarn
The AeroSpace and Defense Industry is facing ever increasing competitive and demanding challenges. Our products and services are complex and our customers demand performance aiming and reaching excellence.
The interdependence between customers, partners and suppliers is tighter and tighter: success will be the result of a team, we are all collectively involved. In this respect, mutual confidence and trust is definitely a key factor.
The certification process is a cornerstone of such confidence. The quality of this process relies ultimately on the competence, integrity, intellectual agility and experience of the Auditors and Other Party (OP) Assessors. The IAQG is fully aware of it, and strongly promotes and requests a high level of qualification requirements and moreover a continual improvement of the auditors’ and OP Assessors qualification process. Your participation in this course is a great opportunity for implementing and demonstrating this common thriving effort to excellence that we share; thank you for your commitment and enthusiasm!

6. Welcome: On behalf of the IAQG OPMT Chair – Tim Lee
On behalf of the IAQG Other Party Management Team (OPMT) we greatly appreciate your willingness to participate in this sanctioned training and supporting our globally harmonized Industry Controlled Other Party (ICOP) shared oversight process. We recognize that this is a complicated process and the training you are about to receive will expose you to the criteria, methods and tools utilized in the oversight process. We encourage you to study the related materials, ask questions, and enjoy the learning journey. The ICOP process relies on conformance by all parties engaged in certification activities and its success depends on Other Party (OP) Assessors that are tenacious, fair and true Quality Professionals. Thank you for your time and effort.
