The Audit Committee (Scheme Committee see ISO/IEC 17024:2012) shall ensure that both the certification scheme and the examinations and syllabuses are at university research and teaching levels.
ICO has appointed members of the MNM Team to the Audit Committee to ensure this level is guaranteed. The Munich Network Management Team (MNM-Team) is a research group comprising scientists at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich (LMU), the Technical University of Munich (TU), the Leibniz-Rechenzentrum (LRZ) and the Universität of the Bundeswehr München (UniBW) and lead by Professor Dr. Dieter Kranzlmüller and Professor Dr. Heinz-Gerd Hegering (emer.).
The main task of the examination board is to monitor and approve the syllabuses and examination questions in order to establish and maintain the level of quality. In addition, it also advises ICO with regards to the training scheme and further development of the modular concept. In the future, the ICO intends to co-operate with other universities and colleges in the field of certification of persons.
