About this course
Integrated Management Systems Lead Auditor gives delegates a structured, practical understanding of ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 integration and audit principles and ISO 19011, then builds the skills to apply planning and preparing audits, conducting audits and gathering evidence and reporting nonconformities in real work. Quality and excellence courses on ISO systems, auditing, Lean Six Sigma and continuous improvement. One of our most requested courses.
Sessions are led by practitioners with at least 15 years in the field, and mix short input with exercises, case studies and group work, so delegates return with methods they can use straight away.
