Overview

The 5-day Auditor / Lead Auditor Training Course offered by Ashbrooke has been developed to progress the delegate through a series of modules, each containing a day's activities of presentation and participation; after which each successful delegate will have earned his/her training qualification for certification as an IRCA QMS 2008 Auditor / Lead Auditor.

Developing good communication skills is encouraged early and is reinforced throughout the course as it is essential for an Auditor / Lead Auditor to hold well developed written and verbal communication skills. This is achieved with verbal and written evaluation activities, open forum presentation format and active delegate participation throughout the course.

The course examines these issues by opening with standardization and the evolution of ISO 9000. This is followed by reviewing:

• Quality management principles,
• Principles of continual improvement,
• ISO 9001:2008,
• ISO 19011:2002,
• Quality Management System documentation,
• Planning and conducting audits,
• Process mapping,
• Audit teams,
• Communication with the auditee,
• Interviews,
• Writing audit reports,
• Quality audit meetings.

Plus, over 90% of the course timing is dedicated to syndicate activities designed to examine and explore the disciplines of planning and conducting QMS audits. This course contains 4 Questionnaires, 10 Workshops, plus several additional skills development activities.

Our activities extend from Canada to Europe to Asia to Africa to Middle East.
