Description

The Custom ISO 9001 Auditor Training is designed for organizations that want to develop a competent audit team with company-specific skills to maximize the value of their internal audit program.

This course equips newly assigned auditors within your company with the necessary certification, knowledge, and skills to perform internal audits. The combination of tailor-made content and hands-on, guided auditing activities is particularly effective in developing practical skillsets required to conduct value-added audits.

Participants will have the opportunity to apply their newfound skills in a series of authentic, supervised auditing exercises at your company. To get the maximum benefit from the practice audits, it is recommended that your ISO 9001 system is fully implemented. However, if the course is scheduled earlier during the ISO implementation process, the practice audits can be used to support your implementation efforts.

Accredited by Exemplar Global, this high-quality course meets the requirements of ISO 19011:2018 and is globally recognized.

Additional Information

Remote Training Option

We offer both on-site and remote options for this course, providing flexibility to meet your needs. If you're interested in the remote version, here's a breakdown of how it works.

The remote version of our course includes both lecture-type training and real-life audit exercises to develop your skills. While the content and learning objectives remain the same as the on-site version, participants have the opportunity to experience the instructor through video conferencing technology.

Don't worry, it's still a live training experience where you can interact with the instructor just like in a classroom setting. We ensure this through video conferencing capabilities, whether that's in a conference room equipped with the necessary technology or from the comfort of your own location using your computer or smartphone.

During the real-life audit exercises, participants are expected to visit different departments of their company as a team. One team member should have a mobile device with video communications software, and a laptop with screen-sharing capability would be ideal for practicing auditing electronic documentation.

To ensure a smooth experience, we will provide detailed explanations of the process, discuss the technologies involved, and test connections. Our current video conferencing platforms include MS Teams and Join.me, but we're also open to using the technologies already in use at your company.

Our instructors have extensive experience in teaching this course remotely. If you have any concerns or specific questions, please feel free to reach out to us.
Optional Exam and Certificate Options

Our Custom ISO 9001 Internal Auditor Training offers participants flexibility when it comes to exams and certificates. We provide two options:

Certificate of Attendance
After completing the course, participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance without the need to take the final exam. This certificate fulfills the ISO 9001:2015 requirement for training records.

Certificate of Attainment
Participants who prefer to obtain ISO 9001 Auditor Certification can choose to take an online, multiple-choice exam. This certificate includes the prestigious Exemplar Global Competency Units QM and AU, serving as evidence of training and acquired competencies. It also allows learners to register as an Exemplar Global Certified Auditor. Both types of certificates include blockchain verification and can be digitally shared on professional platforms like LinkedIn.
Multiple Exam Attempts

Participants have the opportunity to take the optional final exam as often as needed to achieve a passing score (70%). The exam is free of charge, and after answering all the questions, participants will receive their final score along with a comprehensive review of the results.
Exemplar Global Competency Units

Exemplar Global Competency Units provide objective evidence of acquired competence, going beyond simply recording training attendance. These units are issued based on the results of a rigorous examination that meets the stringent requirements set by Exemplar Global. Only Exemplar Global Certified Training Providers and Examiners (TPECS), such as ourselves at 9001Simplified, are authorized to issue Exemplar Global Competency Units.

By earning Competency Units QM and AU, course participants gain internationally recognized evidence of competence in Quality Management (Exemplar Global QM) and Auditing Management Systems (Exemplar Global AU).
Onsite and Remote Learning Combination

Combining onsite and remote training is not recommended because remote training requires a different setup than simply filming an onsite course. Our lead auditor training is very hands-on, and the setup requirements for onsite and remote activities are different. By doing both kinds of training, the training delivery for both would be far from optimal.
Support for ISO 9001 Implementation

The Custom ISO 9001 Internal Auditor Training can be a valuable asset to your ISO 9001 implementation efforts. By conducting this training while your company is setting up its quality management system, participants will not only practice their auditing skills through real-life audit exercises but also assist your staff in adopting ISO processes.

During the hands-on training, our experienced instructor will identify opportunities to improve your ISO system and suggest better solutions. If you have specific areas of focus, we can tailor the audit exercises to meet your organization's needs.
Comparison with Custom ISO 9001 Lead Auditor Training

While both courses offer excellent training opportunities, there are a couple of key differences between them:

The Custom ISO 9001 Lead Auditor Training includes additional topics, such as leading audits and a team of auditors.

The lead auditor course allows for significantly more time to develop auditing skills through real-life exercises conducted at your company. This immersive experience deepens understanding and provides hands-on practice in auditing.

If scheduling and budget allow for it, we highly recommend considering the lead auditor course as it generates the best and most value-adding auditors.
Advantages of Custom Training

Our custom course offers several advantages compared to traditional, one-size-fits-all training programs:

Effective
Our custom courses are finely tuned to the specific needs of your organization and its employees, making them more relevant, effective, and memorable than other training solutions.

Adaptive
Our expert trainers can adapt the course on the fly to adjust to the understanding and attitude of the participants, ensuring optimal learning outcomes.

Specific
Our custom courses provide ample opportunities for questions and discussions on topics specific to your organization, allowing for a more tailored learning experience.

Hands-on
Course participants have the chance to learn and practice auditing hands-on at their own organization, making the training experience more practical and applicable to real-world scenarios.

Personal
Our instructors are not only experienced but also chosen for their charisma and strong interpersonal skills. They create a relaxed and engaging learning environment to optimize the learning journey.

While other training formats have their pros and cons, our custom course is ideal for ISO 9001 internal auditors seeking hands-on training customized to suit their organization.
