This course develops these capabilities through clear instruction, real-world examples, and a rigorous examination that validates your competence.
The training is organized into focused, interactive sessions that build your knowledge from fundamentals through to professional auditor skills. Sessions include:

What you'll learn: The purpose of a Quality Management System and the business case for ISO 9001 certification.

This session also introduces Annex SL, the high-level structure that makes ISO 9001 compatible with other management system standards.
What you'll learn: How the seven quality principles guide QMS implementation and how Annex SL enables integrated management systems.
Session 3: The Process Approach and PDCA Cycle

What you'll learn: How to evaluate an organization's use of the process approach and PDCA methodology during audits.
Session 4: ISO 9001:2015 Requirements

What you'll learn: How to evaluate conformity with each ISO 9001 requirement and identify objective evidence of compliance.
Session 5: ISO 9001:2015 Documentation

What you'll learn: The fundamentals of auditing and the distinct roles within an audit program.
Session 7: Auditing
