Internal audits only create value when auditors can follow how work actually happens, evaluate evidence objectively and communicate findings that the organization can act on. This course develops those skills within the context of your own QMS.
Train on Your Own QMS: Apply ISO 9001 and auditing principles to your procedures, records, processes and organizational context.
Build Consistent Audit Skills: Give the whole audit team a shared method for preparing audits, gathering evidence and documenting findings.
Practice Before the First Real Audit: Develop confidence through guided audit exercises with direct feedback from an IRCA-certified lead auditor.
Produce More Useful Findings: Learn to distinguish evidence from assumption and write clear findings that support corrective action without prescribing solutions.
Add Assessed Certification: The optional exam is included. Participants who pass earn a Certificate of Attainment and digital badge with Exemplar Global Competency Units QM and AU.
The scenario-based exercises and the practice audits of our CEO and the shop floor were most memorable.
Dave Kilby / Miracle Coating
Prepared for Practical Application: Miracle Coating trained a department of six new auditors, who successfully conducted their first internal audit just one week after the course, identifying two key improvement opportunities.
After the live course, participants will be prepared to:
Interpret ISO 9001 requirements and audit criteria from an internal auditor's perspective.
Prepare assigned internal audits by defining objectives, scope, criteria, sampling and an effective audit plan.
Conduct process-based internal audits by following process trails, interviewing personnel and examining objective evidence.
Evaluate and document audit evidence to produce clear, factual and defensible findings.
Report results and support follow-up while maintaining objectivity, confidentiality and appropriate auditor boundaries.
The course combines focused instruction, discussion, scenario work and guided audit practice. Your instructor adapts the examples and exercises to your QMS, processes, documentation and audit priorities.
Internal Audit Purpose and Auditor Role: Audit principles, responsibilities, impartiality and how internal auditing supports control and improvement.
Audit Planning and Preparation: Objectives, scope, criteria, process context, risks, sampling, checklists and allocation of audit work.
Process-Based Auditing: Following process trails, interviewing personnel, reviewing records and evaluating evidence against ISO 9001 and your own QMS requirements.
Findings, Reporting and Follow-Up: Distinguishing conformity, nonconformity and improvement opportunities; writing clear findings; reporting results; and verifying corrective action.
Guided Practice Audits: Applying the method to your own processes and documentation, with observation, coaching and feedback from the instructor.
The power of a custom course is that there's no translation needed. The skills they learn in the room are the exact ones they apply on the floor, because we're using their actual systems.

The 3-day Internal Auditor course covers the complete internal audit process and includes guided practice using your QMS. The 5-day Custom Lead Auditor Training adds two days of varied audit exercises and develops the additional responsibilities of coordinating audit work, assigning resources, leading audit teams and meetings, and taking overall responsibility for audit delivery.
Before the course, your instructor reviews your QMS, processes, documentation and audit priorities. We then adapt the examples, scenarios and guided audit exercises to your organization.
Participants work through guided audit exercises using your actual processes, procedures and records. They practice preparing audits, following process trails, gathering evidence and documenting findings, with feedback from the instructor.
Live virtual training can typically start within 1 week. On-site training requires 3 weeks' notice to coordinate instructor travel.
The standard course is for up to 10 participants to ensure personalized attention and effective hands-on practice. Please contact us for pricing for larger groups.
