Course Objectives
This newly certified course is one of the first in the United States to offer a completely new approach to quality management systems internal auditor training. The training is focused on attendee attainment of two sets of defined key competencies: auditing skills and quality management systems.

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 19011:2002) 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. Practical workshops, a case study, 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 third day of training.
