Format of course

As the ISO 9001 standard is a complex and detailed framework document, we try to make the course as exciting as possible and use accelerated learning techniques to achieve this.

As a Lead Auditor (or senior Internal Auditor/Supplier Auditor) you will need to know the requirements of ISO 9001 in a lot of detail, to get this level of detail across to our delegates we use a mixture of tutor led sessions and interactive exercises.

Over the last 50 years as a leading ISO auditor training company, we have developed new and innovative ways to teach the tools and techniques of how to audit your quality management system, the way that achieve this is by using a small number of tutor led sessions and a very in-depth and comprehensive case study to simulate live audit scenarios. The use of a case study approach is by far the best way to learn how to audit, as it means that you will actually conduct role play audits during the course to enable your skills to be developed.

Prior knowledge

If you have done any quality management systems auditing before, then you probably have enough prior knowledge to attend this course. A basic understanding of the requirements of ISO 9001: 2008 and management systems in general is a great start, but we do understand that some of the delegates attending this course are doing so because they want to learn what it all means, therefore all we ask is that you complete a short pre-course exercise before you attend the course (this is sent to you via email 4 weeks before the course starts).

On the other hand, if you are the type of person that likes to know everything there is to know about your chosen subject, we offer an IRCA Approved ISO 9001 Foundation training course where we spend an entire day talking about nothing else by ISO 9001 – see information above for Foundation course
