 Course Objectives

This certified course is the first in the United States to offer a completely new approach to quality management systems lead auditor training. The training is focused on attendee attainment of three sets of defined competencies: auditing skills, quality management systems, and team leader skills.

This training follows the basic steps of a QMS audit, from Preparation and Evaluation, to Reporting and Corrective Action. Participants learn auditing processes and procedures using the Guidelines for Quality and/or Environmental Management Systems Auditing (ISO 19011) standard, as well as the ISO 9000 series of standards. The training provides insights into external audits, such as third-party registrars and supplier audits and also includes key concepts that can be applied within your own internal audit program. Practical workshops, case studies, and simulated audits are used to practice new skills and techniques. Competency-based exercises are conducted throughout the course and a final written examination is undertaken on the last day of training.
