Integrated Management Systems Auditor Training Course

Over recent years many organisations have combined their Quality, Environmental and Health & Safety Management Systems to create an integrated system. In many instances though they still carry out separate audits as required by ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, with much duplication of effort and cost but little additional value.

This two day Integrated Management Systems (IMS) Auditor training course provides the knowledge and skills required for delegates to carry out audits of an IMS in order to identify both compliance with the relevant standards and potential for performance improvement. It is designed for existing Quality, Environmental and Health & Safety Management System auditors who need to broaden their capability, or for delegates who have no previous experience in auditing but are familiar with the requirements of these standards. The course takes delegates through the integrated audit process, from the development of the audit schedule through to its follow up and closeout.

In order 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 the day prior.
