Why Choose Custom ISO 9001 Lead Auditor Training?
Lead auditors need command of the complete audit process and the ability to coordinate people, resources and communication while taking overall responsibility for audit delivery. This course develops those leadership responsibilities and reinforces each stage of the process through extensive guided practice.
Instruction Reinforced Through Practice: Apply each stage of the audit process through repeated guided exercises based on your own operations.
Build Judgment Across Varied Scenarios: Work through different processes, evidence trails, findings and challenging audit situations rather than practicing the method only once.
Receive Individual Coaching: Get direct observation, feedback and correction from an IRCA-certified lead auditor throughout the exercises.
Develop Audit Leadership: Practice assigning work, coordinating resources, leading teams and meetings, managing communication and team dynamics, and maintaining overall control of the audit process.
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, AU and TL.
Practicing auditing at our own company brought this all to life.
