Stand Out & Increase your Net Worth by becoming an IRCA Certified ISO 9001 Lead Auditor

There is a shortage of qualified auditors currently. You can capitalise on this by becoming certified. Furthermore, the global demand for ISO 9001 professionals is steadily growing as organisations implement the standard to get an edge on their competitors and improve their internal efficiency. This trend is set to continue to increase in the future, ensuring that auditors with ISO 9001 certified credentials will be in high demand from organisations worldwide.

This course is provided by SEQM TRAINING, a CQI and IRCA Approved Training Provider, and will provide a professional lead auditor qualification certified by CQI and IRCA – the globally recognised ultimate standard for auditing competence.

On completing the course, passing the assessments and exam, you will be presented with an CQI and IRCA certificate.  This proves that you have the knowledge and skills to be able to lead a team to conduct a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd party audit of a Quality Management System (QMS) in any organisation – SME or multinational corporation. Furthermore, it ensures that you understand and can apply the knowledge you gained in each of the course’s modules, proving that you are a highly competent lead auditor.

Learn How to Professionally Audit Quality Management Systems

This course will give you the skills and expertise needed to competently manage a QMS (Quality Management System) audit program.  You will learn how to lead a team, plan, execute and report on an assessment of an QMS against the standard ISO 9001:2015.

Experienced ISO 9001 auditors and practitioners show you how to lead a QMS project from start to finish. You will be taught the detailed theory and gain ‘hands on’ experience through practical application of the audit process to ISO management systems through discussion and role play. Best-practice audit methodology based on ISO 19011 is used throughout the course allowing you to master audit techniques.

CQI and IRCA Approved Training Partner

Successful completion of this internationally recognised  certified course will enhance your professional development and provide important industry recognition.

This course is CQI and IRCA certified, an internationally recognised organisation for personal certification, and passing its exam confirms you are competent to lead ISO 9001 audits to internationally recognised standards.

Certified training helps you stand out from the crowd in terms of your career. This is because most training courses provide certificates but these are predominantly certificates of completion, and not necessarily certified by a globally recognised 3rd party.

CQI and IRCA support a large global community of highly educated and engaged professionals, just like you, to enhance their career outcomes. Successful completion of this widely accepted certification will enhance your professional development and provide important industry recognition.

WHY ISO 9001?

It’s the Backbone of ISO Standards!

With the growth and global acceptance of ISO 9001:2015 as the default standard for Quality Management and baseline for many other standards, there is a huge demand for qualified ISO 9001 lead auditors.

Gaining the knowledge and qualifications required to conduct an ISO 9001 audit is essential for the successful career development of all lead auditors.

Passing the ISO 9001 Lead Auditor course will enable you to join 3-day auditor conversion courses for other standards such ISO 14001, ISO 27001 and ISO 45001 instead of full 5-day Lead Auditor courses.

Furthermore a practical working knowledge of the lead audit process is also a crucial requirement for the manager responsible for implementing and maintaining ISO 9001 compliance within an organisation.
