W. Edwards Deming, the founding father of the successful Total Quality Management (TQM) movement, said you cannot “inspect in” quality after the fact. “Inspection, with the aim of finding the bad ones and then throwing them out is too late, ineffective, and costly.”
Quality auditing focuses on the future, and how we, as Internal Auditors, should stop only focusing on the past and begin to look forward to the future and bringing valuable recommendations and changes to our organizations.

Most traditional certifications for internal auditors require a degree, years of experience, an application process, and multiple exams that take 1-2+ years and $10,000+ at a minimum to obtain.
If you are a little skeptical, here's the math for the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) as an example:
- Application fee = $250
- Testing fee for 3 exam parts = $750
- Re-testing fee for 2 parts (less than 40% pass the first time) = $500+
- Preparation materials or courses = $1,000-$12,000+
- 500+ hours of studying at $20 per hour for your time = $10,000+
And that doesn't include all the time and money invested to get a university degree and years of experience.
Most people have invested $2,000-$2,500 just to get started with the CIA, before even considering the 500+ hours of studying (usually over several years).
With the Certified Total Quality Auditor (cTQA) professional designation, you avoid a 1-2+ year struggle of feeling not smart enough, not good enough, and investing $10,000+ in time and money.
Instead with the Certified Total Quality Auditor (cTQA) within 1-2 weeks of investment you feel qualified, confident, and hopeful.
Wouldn't you prefer a 1-2 week path instead of 1-2+ YEARS?
What if in as little as 3 months:
- you could qualify for a promotion
- could apply for a position at a new company
- could increase your earning potential
And all of that in addition to being qualified to perform more valuable internal audits.
How grateful would you be that you made a choice today, right now, to invest in yourself?
If you are the kind of person that is ready to invest in yourself, NOW is the time to act.
If you are ready to take your career to the next level and make your internal audit activity more quality focused, GET REGISTERED NOW.
