ISO 9001:2015 Transition Auditor Training Course

A CQI and IRCA certified ISO 9001:2015 Transition Auditor training course (ref:A17970)

Overview

The new requirements of ISO 9001:2015, including a shifted emphasis demanding more direct involvement in the management system by top management, will require internal and external auditors to widen their focus.  As such, this ISO 9001 auditor transition training course explores ISO 9001:2015 in terms of structure, terminology and interpretation in order for auditors to:

• understand the way the emphasis of ISO 9001 has changed
• identify any change in approach necessary to competently conduct an audit against ISO 9001:2015
• implement the changes required and communicate the implications these changes will have for organisations
• meet the IRCA upgrade requirements for registered auditors.

If you are looking to transition your organisation’s QMS from being ISO 9001:2008 certified to ISO 9001:2015 and need guidance on how to get there, you might like to consider our ISO 9001:2015 QMS Transition Workshop.
