ISO Consultant Offers “Free” Training, Charges $449 for Certificate"},"content":{"rendered":"

As if the ISO scheme didn’t need more injury to its already tarnished reputation, we have Strahinja Stojanovic of Advisera inventing a new take on shady shit.<\/p>\n

Advisera is advertising<\/a> a “free” 8-hour ISO 9001:2015 Internal Auditor Course, but the catch is that you can’t get an actual certificate unless you pony up $449 to “purchase the certificate.”<\/p>\n

Snort.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You also get to retake the exam “for free” but only after you paid $449. Suddenly, free got expensive.<\/p>\n

Strahinja was one of the tiny number of people actually banned from the ISO 9001 LinkedIn Group<\/a> for his aggressive spamming. Believe me, the bar is pretty high on that group to get banned, but he refused to respond to a request to stop.<\/p>\n

Advisera sells an ISO 9001 template kit for a whopping $797. Ouch.<\/p>\n

Oh, yeah, and here is<\/a> supposedly “objective” accreditation body PECB shilling for Advisera and promoting his videos. Because everyone sucks.<\/p>\n

In related news, I will provide free heart surgery, but if you want me to close up your chest, you have to pay me $500,000 or I let you bleed out.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Advisera will give you the course for free, but charges you for the certificate.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22792,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[157,5],"tags":[7706,167,14,7707],"class_list":["post-22790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-humor-2","category-opinion","tag-advisera","tag-consulting","tag-iso-9001","tag-strahinja-stojanovic","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22790"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22790\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22793,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22790\/revisions\/22793"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22792"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
