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 45001 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.

1) Complete the Course Learning Material
2) Attend the Interactive Workshop
3) Pass the Exam

The course will cover not only the accepted principles of auditing, but will give participants a detailed understanding of audit methodology, including audit preparation, managing an audit team, determining compliance with the standard, interview techniques, following audit trails and documenting evidence.

Delegates will participate in workshops and case studies to develop their auditing techniques, and will learn how to handle some of the more challenging situations an auditor may face. The course has been designed in keeping with international standards on auditing techniques, including ISO 19011.

The course will also familiarise participants with the challenges of auditing ISO 45001 and will cover all sections of the standard in detail, providing tips on how to audit individual clauses, including risk assessments, business continuity, and effective continual improvement.

The course will make extensive use of group exercises and case studies throughout, providing attendees with a proper foundation in the practical aspects of auditing conformance with ISO 45001.
