ISO 9001 2015 Internal Auditor

Course Overview

This highly interactive two-day training programme is designed for those people who require a sound understanding of the techniques and principles of quality auditing. It also covers the role of the internal auditor in the development and improvement of an effective quality management system. This course is registered with the International Register of Certificated Auditors (IRCA).
The role of the internal quality auditor is changing.

Delegates will also become more aware that they play a key role in the development and improvement of working practices across the organisation. This IRCA registered course focuses delegates on the most important attributes of a modern and effective quality management system and helps them to understand the role of the auditor in its development and continual improvement. It introduces delegates to the ISO 9000 series standard and the 7 quality management principles that underpin them.
