The ISO 9000 series of standards require that an organisation conduct internal quality audits to determine the effectiveness of its quality system. SQT Training is running a two-day course 11th September 2019 to provide delegates with the skills necessary to be an effective internal auditor (QMS).
Internal Auditor (QMS) Training
Auditors carrying out these internal audits need to understand the purpose of ISO 9001 and the process approach to auditing to enable them to add-value during the audit process. Thousands of internal audits are performed each year providing little internal business benefit. This course focuses on auditing Quality Systems for real quality improvement and performance rather than just conformance.
