 Course Description
Internal audits
are a routine part of today’s quality management. They should concentrate on determining
conformance but in many cases auditors only focus on non-compliance. In this
course the delegates are shown how to carry out internal audits which:
- Are effective and efficient
- Look for improvement
opportunities as well as conformance
- Are value adding
Many of the
techniques taught are equally applicable to supplier audits.
The course is run
against ISO 9001: 2008 but can equally be based on other standards such as Good
Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and others (e.g.
PS 9000, PS 9001, ISO 15378, and internal company standards).
 Course Structure
The course is
structured in modules which provide flexibility to meet individual client needs. The programme is designed to fit in with
individual client working times and other operational requirements and can be
tailored to the needs of the client. We use accelerated learning techniques to
speed the learning process and make the learning enjoyable.
The two-day
programme can be run consecutively or split to meet the client needs.
Significant
emphasis is placed on practical application of what has been taught and on
in-house courses the second day is devoted to actual internal auditing in the
client’s facility.
 Learning
