Upcoming course dates
Yes, you will receive a certificate after the course to confirm your attendance for both days. The certificate demonstrates to your employers, colleagues and other interested parties that you have achieved an understanding of the risks and benefits of integrated management systems and know how to carry out an effective audit.
The course is equivalent to 16 hours of CPD.
The IMS auditor training gives current auditors with expertise in quality, environmental and/or health & safety standards the opportunity to extend their knowledge to other disciplines. You will gain practical insights into managing multiple management systems with an integrated approach.
The course will benefit you most if you have a good basic understanding of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. If you feel your current knowledge could do with updating, one option would be to first attend our 1-day Integrated Management Systems Overview course.
The course explains the complete audit process, from planning, through checklists, report writing and reviewing corrective actions, to performance improvement support, giving you a step-by-step guide to auditing integrated management systems.
We reinforce teaching with interactive workshops and discussions with the tutor and fellow delegates to help you ensure you are achieving the greatest benefit from the 2 days of training.
