Given that a training course provider is not a conformity assessment body and so by definition assessment and approval of a training course provider is not accreditation; and given that as ISO/IEC 17011:2004, clause 4.3.6.a, states that an accreditation body will not provide any service that affects its impartiality such as those conformity assessment services that Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) perform, such as the certification of service providers based on ISO/IEC Guide 65, the General Assembly, acting on the recommendation of the Technical Committee, resolved that accreditation of training course providers is not in conformance with ISO/IEC 17011:2004.
