Travel and expenses are included.
Prerequisites
No previous knowledge of ISO 9001 required.
Prior to the course, participants need to complete a set of preparation exercises and read the ISO 9001:2015 standard (and bring it to the course).
Facilities
Course participants need to be connected through video conferencing – either individually or in group settings.
To facilitate the guided audit exercises, one participant needs to be equipped with a mobile device with video conferencing capabilities.
You need to provide a room with sufficient seating for course participants, a presentation screen and projector (with connection to a laptop), and refreshments.
Optionally, clients may arrange a common lunch for the trainer and attendees to allow for continued discussions.
Duration
RemoteOn-site training lasts 3 days, with 2.5 CEUs.
I see that you offer this course on-site and remotely. How does the remote version work?
This course includes both lecture-type training and skill development through real-life audit exercises. The training is quite similar to the on-site version except that course participants experience the instructor on a screen.
It's still live training, and participants have the same opportunities to interact with the instructor as in a classroom setting. We accomplish this through video conferencing technology.
Course participants can take the lecture-type training together in a conference room with video conferencing capabilities (including a sufficiently large screen, speakers, and microphones for the participants to engage in discussions). Alternatively course participants could join from any location using their own computer or smartphone.
During the real-life audit exercises, participants are expected to visit – as a team – different departments of their company. One team member needs to carry a mobile device with video communications software. And to practice auditing of electronic documentation, a laptop with screen-sharing app would be ideal.
As part of the preparation for this course, we will explain the process to you in detail, discuss technologies, and test connections. We currently use MS Teams and Join.me, but we are also prepared to use technologies already in use at your company.
Our instructors have several years experience in teaching this course remotely. If you are concerned about certain aspects, feel free to contact us.
Do the participants have to take an exam?
No, the final exam is completely optional. These are the options:
Certificate of Attendance
After completing the course, participants receive a Certificate of Attendance – without taking the final exam.
It's all that's necessary to meet the ISO 9001:2015 requirement on training records.
Certificate of Attainment
Participants may also choose to take an online, multiple-choice exam to receive a Certificate of Attainment that shows the Competency Units earned (in this case, the QM and AU Competency Units) and the prestigious Exemplar Global certification mark.
This type of certificate serves as evidence of training, shows that all related competencies have been acquired, and enables the learner to become an Exemplar Global Certified Auditor.
Both types of certificate include blockchain verification and can be digitally shared on LinkedIn and other social media.
How many attempts do the participants have to pass the exam?
Participants may take the optional final exam – free of charge – as often as needed to pass it (the passing score is 70%).
After answering all questions, participants will be presented with their final score and a comprehensive review of the results. They'll also be able to retake any lessons to brush up on their knowledge.
How do the participants benefit from the included Exemplar Global Competency Units?
9001Simplified is an Exemplar Global certified training provider and examiner. We are authorized to issue Certificates of Attainment displaying the Exemplar Global certification mark and Competency Units. This is how graduates benefit from it:
Participants get the best training - and the confidence that our training and exams have been rigorously audited and certified to meet Exemplar Global standards.
Passing the final exam will get participants a Certificate of Attainment with Competency Units (in case of this course, the QM and AU Competency Units). It's an impressive attest to their newly gained competencies - and a big difference to a certificate of attendance.
The Certificate of Attainment with Competency Units provides assurance that their audits are accepted globally.
Having acquired the QM and AU Competency Units enables you to apply for the Exemplar Global personnel certification 'Certified Quality Management System Auditor'. See Exemplar Global's website for information on how to apply.
Can this course support our ISO 9001 implementation efforts?
Yes, conducting this course while your company is still setting up its quality management system can aid the implementation. The real-life audit exercises will not only allow participants practice their auditing skills but also assist staff adopt ISO processes. As part of the hands-on training, our experienced instructor will identify opportunities to improve the ISO system and suggest better solutions. Upon request, we could also focus audit exercises on specific areas of your organization.
How does this course compare to the Custom ISO 9001 Lead Auditor Training?
There are two main differences between both courses:
The lead auditor course includes these additional topics: managing an audit program and leading audits and a team of auditors.
The lead auditor course provides significantly more time to discuss ISO 9001 requirements in the context of your organization and develop auditing skills in real-life exercises right at your company.
If scheduling and budget allow for it, we suggest you consider the lead auditor course for its ability to deepen understanding and practice real-life auditing. In short, the lead auditor course will generate the best and most value-adding auditors.
What are the advantages of this custom training?
This custom course represents an evolution of traditional, classroom-based training. It's an engaging presentation, tailored to your organization's circumstances and needs, and taught either at your premises or remotely through video conferencing (virtual live classroom). Compared to other training methods, custom training offers several advantages:
Effective
Rather than the sort of "one-size-fits-all" teaching you would typically find in other training programs, our custom courses are finely tuned to the needs of both your organization and its employees.
As such, these courses are invariably 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.
Specific
Our custom courses allow for questions and discussions of topics specific to your organization.
Hands-on
Course participants can learn and practice auditing hands-on at their own organization.
Personal
Our instructors are chosen not just for their experience but for their charisma and strong interpersonal skills.
They excel at creating a relaxed environment that engages course attendees and optimizes learning.
Other training formats have their own characteristics, pros and cons. But for ISO 9001 internal auditors looking for hands-on training that's customized to suit their organization, this custom course is ideal.
