ISO 9001 Internal Auditor Training

Which is more painful: an audit or spending the holidays with Aunt Sally and her green Jell-O mold? Either way, your company audit still looms in your mind, but it shouldn’t be that scary – quite the opposite. Besides, even Sally “audits” herself when she makes her mold, as she tests for thickness and taste. She just wants to improve.

Internal Audit Time ?

So what are you going to do about your company audit? How about make an educated guess what the problem is, assign someone to “fix” it, and sit back and relax;for another month or so? Just another short-term solution.

Instead, why not tackle the audit head on, and kick its butt.  With role playing and actually writing up your own audit plans and reports, you will get to see why objective evidence is so crucial to improving and even closing the gaps in your company’s system. It becomes such a different world when you see firsthand all of the scenes.

Of course, Les Cornelius, Quality Assurance Coordinator for Lee BioSolutions, Inc., put it better.

“Role playing and specific examples were helpful elements because they fully exercise the brain in its learning capacity and help internalize and retain the teachings”

Ask yourself, why these teachings? Why do you need unarguable objective evidence, and why isn’t your best guess good enough? It’s because without unarguable evidence, we end up managing by the seat of our pants and just argue back and forth our subjective opinions instead of discovering what is factually true. We will never accomplish anything with certainty, and we could do the wrong thing that could set you back even further.

But as with anything, the proof is in the pudding, so what are the results? In the ISO 9001 auditor certification class,  you will see numerous examples proving that managing by objective evidence leads to better and higher performance. And this leads to measurable improvement of the whole system. Simple yet complex. Complex yet simple.

In a nutshell, you will come away with the knowledge to conduct an ISO 9001 internal audit and improve your company’s quality system. And, maybe more importantly, you can face your fears – and hopefully avoid Aunt Sally’s mold.

ISO Auditor Training Improves the Effectiveness of Your QMS

Internal Auditing is the best tool for evaluating the effectiveness of your ISO 9001 QMS. Plus, using untrained quality auditors is like making measurements with an out-of-calibration instrument. Get the most from your investment into your quality program by using trained ISO auditors who understand the criteria and the methods. After attending this class, your updated auditors will know how to gauge the effectiveness of your ISO 9001 Quality program and communicate results clearly and objectively.

There is no reason to fear 2nd and 3rd party audits if you have an effective quality program with competent assessors. If you are thoroughly evaluating your quality system with objective reviews, nothing the external registrars say or find will come as a surprise to you. But an audit program is only as strong as its weakest link. Are your process auditors properly trained on the ISO 9001 Standard and on the multiple facets of conducting a successful quality review? The Bizmanualz ISO 9001 Internal Auditor Training class helps ensure you get the most from your ISO Audit program.

This ISO 9001:2015 Internal Auditor Training Class is appropriate for new or beginning quality personnel, as well as those that have attended ISO lead auditor training or quality managers who would a like refresher course or the opportunity to discuss new innovative approaches. We keep our classes small and we use a seminar-style presentation with an interactive format to discuss particular auditing approaches that meet your needs.

Interactive, Seminar Style Quality Training

Small class sizes using some PowerPoint slides maximizes learning and retention. No sitting in dark rooms staring at the screen while an instructor drones on. No sitting in big hotel ballrooms, lost in a large group with little or no opportunity to ask questions or to network with other quality managers and auditors here.

With our intimate classes, we allow time for ISO 9001 internal audit case study and group discussions to ensure you get answers to your questions.  Real world auditing issues are covered by experienced auditors. Plus, along with a real ISO QMS Process Audit Exercise, our discussions are interspersed with exercises that are fun as well as a great learning experience that you can take back to your company.

Take the mystery out of the ISO 9001 Standard by taking this special training event. Everyone wants to be part of a successful organization. Connecting the dots between compliance and success can be an important motivator for your audit team. Plus, each participant will receive an optional copy of the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Requirements to aid your understanding of the Standard and to use with your own ISO audits at your organization.
