What to Expect from VDA QMC Course Exams


Auditors addressing nonconformaties

At ENCONA, we often receive questions about the testing requirements for VDA QMC courses—whether you're aiming to become a certified VDA 6.3 Process Auditor, meet the Core Tools prerequisites, or complete the Product Auditor qualification. To help you feel more prepared and confident, here’s a quick breakdown of what you can expect from the exam process.


Written Exams: Format and Expectations

For most VDA QMC courses, including VDA 6.3 and the Core Tools prerequisite training, there is a written test component. These tests:


  • Consist of 20 multiple-choice questions

  • Have a time limit of 30 minutes

  • Allow access to your notes, standard books, and training materials


Each participant receives a different version of the test. This ensures academic integrity and a more individualized assessment experience. While the format is open-book, it’s important to note that the exam is still a measure of how well you understand and can apply the course material—rather than how quickly you can find the answers.


Ultimately, the written test reflects the effectiveness of the training you’ve received and your ability to use what you’ve learned in practical settings.


Verbal Exams: Simulated Audit Scenarios

In addition to the written portion, certain courses—like the VDA 6.3 Process Auditor qualification—also include a verbal exam. This part of the exam simulates a real-world audit scenario. You'll be asked to:


  • Review sample documentation

  • Develop an audit plan

  • Identify key areas to question the auditee

  • Evaluate process performance

  • Assess conformance to the standard


This verbal portion is designed to mimic the actual experience of conducting an audit and helps gauge your practical application of the knowledge gained throughout the course.


Final Thoughts

Understanding the exam format is a key step in your preparation. Whether you’re brushing up on your notes for the written test or thinking through real-life audit scenarios for the verbal portion, being prepared will help you get the most from your VDA QMC training experience.
