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 key concepts that can be applied within an internal audit program, and makes comparisons with third-party audits by external registrars and audits of suppliers.
