Integrated Management Systems Auditor Training Course

This 2-day course takes delegates through the integrated audit process, from the development of the audit schedule through to its follow up and closeout. Interactive workshops and case studies encourage discussion around the benefits and practicalities of auditing an IMS.

Students will leave the course with the skills and confidence to undertake audits of integrated management systems.

This course is suitable for:

• those who have no previous experience in auditing but do have knowledge of the requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001
• existing quality, environmental or health & safety management systems auditors who wish to broaden their capability into the other disciplines
• those involved in the development and implementation of an integrated management system (IMS)
• anyone who is required to identify gaps in the effectiveness of their IMS

To benefit fully from this course, delegates are expected to have knowledge of the requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. This knowledge can be gained from our 1-day Integrated Management Systems Overview course, which runs the day before this course.

• assessing environmental aspects, H&S hazards and risks
