This category includes the foundational training modules required for the approval, induction, and continued qualification of Mayacert inspectors. These courses are designed to ensure that all auditors—regardless of region or certification scope—are fully aligned with regulatory requirements, internal protocols, and inspection best practices.
Each module in this category addresses a critical area of technical competence that every Mayacert-approved auditor must master. Completion of these courses is mandatory, and each is accompanied by an evaluation exam that must be passed with a score of 80% or higher to qualify for approval.
These trainings form the technical backbone for conducting high-quality, compliant, and impartial inspections under the Mayacert quality system.
