Question QUESTION: hello sir
can you tell me how can I being qualify to work in ISA organization ?
is their any training course offered on ISO for people how need to support their career with ISO certification ?

ANSWER: jc Dude,
WOW what a broad question. Depending what type of industry you would like to pursue, you will need to get the standards for that industry.
I belive their is 17,000 standards so you will have to look.
The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is an organization of the national standards institutes of 157 countries. However, when you hear the term ISO, it often refers to ISO certification, which is a system of guidelines that the ISO created to promote standards for quality. The guidelines are numbered, but the most common one in manufacturing is ISO 9001. In manufacturing, some of the requirements of ISO 9001 include procedures that cover business processes, monitoring processes to ensure quality, keeping proper records, checking outgoing products for defects and regularly reviewing processes for effectiveness. Sounds like a lot of work, and it is so the question becomes whether or not this certification is necessary for you or your industry.
You sound pretty sharp so identify your industry, pull up that standard, then look for courses in that topic.
Let me know how it turns out, and if you need some help finding industry standards for your industry I will do what I can to help out.
Thanks dude, great question.
Mike

Answer Jc dude,
I am having just a little trouble with the translation but I think I understand what you are asking. If not please let me know.
You sound pretty darn smart, if I were a betting man here is what I would have you look into. With your engineering degree I would pursue Broadcast engineering. In the US one needs a degree to engineer a radio tower for example. A degree in electronics would be awesome for configuring consoles, broadcast equipment such as boosters (Amplifiers) and the general layout for say a radio, station. All of that stuff requires a person with a degree. I do not know if you will ever get away from working on the hardware (maintenance stuff) but you might,
Maybe you could think about that and let me know if I am on the right track? Also, what country are you from? It may help me with making my brain understand your language.
Thanks, and good luck
Mike
