Course description
Internal audits are required by many different ISO standards, including ISO/IEC 17025 for laboratories and ISO/IEC 17020 for inspection bodies. Establishing, implementing and maintaining an effective audit program is key to ensuring internal audits provide accurate and reliable information about the conformance of the management system to requirements. Additionally, internal auditors must have the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively and efficiently carry out the planned internal audits.
Internal auditor training lays the foundation for internal auditors. This Internal Audit Intensive Workshop expands on the internal auditing concepts, focused on experiential exercises and learning techniques that apply to all standards. The Workshop will provide an overview of auditing principles from ISO 19011 and ISO/IEC 17011, as well as how to develop an audit program and train internal auditors internally.
