The International Assessor Certification Scheme (intacs) has been developed in response to requests from industry for the purpose of education and certification of process assessors compliant to ISO/IEC 15504.

The criteria against which assessors are evaluated reflect the skills, knowledge and experience that are required to be demonstrated by an assessor during an assessment. Assessors certified by the former Bootstrap Institute or certified compliant to ISO TR 15504 are also taken care of by intacs.

Members of intacs are subject matter experts on process assessments from all over the world.

The Scheme is intended for:

• Internal process assessors, e.g. those who usually perform internal assessments for the purpose of internal process improvement
• External process assessors, e.g. consultants or those employed or working on behalf of purchasing organisations or third party certification bodies (registrars)
• Process practitioners, e.g. consultants, quality personnel, process improvement teams
