Every organization needs key people to lead, coordinate and follow through on audits. The lead auditor courses have been designed with these people in mind. This course is set up to prepare students to look at their management systems like your certified body auditors (registrars). This course is competency based.

The ISO 9001 Lead Auditor modules of ISO 9001 Lead Auditor has been certified by RABQSA International.

Students are taught the standard requirements in detail and how to view objectively a complete system. The course walks them through how to plan, manage and perform audits from a process approach. Students will actually perform process audits in a “safe environment” to learn proper techniques in questioning and digging for information. Also, write an audit report with non-conformances. Finally, as a Lead Auditor the student will learn group and team dynamics as well as leadership skills. Be prepared to learn, work and have fun. Please anticipate homework every night for 1 to 2 hours.
