We offer foundation courses in ISO9001, ISO14001 and OHSAS18001/ISO45001. These courses are designed to give individuals an introduction to the requirements of the standards and are aimed at persons who are involved in the development, implementation, management or improvement of ISO management systems. By the end of the course, the learners will understand:

• What are ISO standards
• Why are they important
• What are the requirements of the standards

The courses also provide learners with the basic knowledge of the standards which they would require in order to complete an internal and/or lead auditor course.

The courses are delivered in-house for up to 8 people at a time. The standard single-system course runs for 1 day and a foundation course in ISO9001, ISO14001 and OHSAS18001/ISO45001 runs for 2 days, although these can be tailored to suit specific client needs.

Internal auditing is a key requirement of all ISO standards. In order for internal audits to be effective tools, auditors must be competent, not only in the standards themselves but also in the technique of auditing. Our training courses provide learners with the knowledge and skills they need in order to develop into competent internal auditors.

The courses are delivered in-house for up to 10 people at a time. Single system training generally lasts 2 days while internal auditor training for 3 systems takes 3 days. Courses can be tailored to suit client needs but the following is a typical breakdown for a 3-day course.

Day 1 - Introduction to standards (ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001)

In order to be able to conduct effective internal audits, auditors must be familiar with the requirements of the standards. This session gives an introduction to the 3 standards and provides a brief explanation of the clause requirements.

Day 2 - Introduction to Internal Auditing

This session provides a theoretical overview of the audit process including:

• Auditing vocabulary
• Types of audits
• Why audit?
• Auditor attributes
• Auditing tool kit
• Audit process
• How to audit
• Interviewing techniques
• Reporting audits
• Evaluating audit findings

Day 3 - Practical auditing

This session provides the learners with practical auditing experience. They will be split into teams and will conduct a number of audits of their company’s own processes. The tutor will shadow the teams at various points during the audits and provide feedback on interview techniques, audit trails etc.   Once completed, the teams will write up their reports and categorise their findings. The reports will be reviewed as a group exercise and feedback will be given as a group.
