Internal Auditing to ISO 9001:2008 Training

Internal audits are a routine part of today’s quality management. They should concentrate on determining conformance but in many cases auditors only focus on non-compliance. In this course the delegates are shown how to carry out internal audits which:

• Are effective and efficient
• Look for improvement opportunities as well as conformance
• Are value adding

Many of the techniques taught are equally applicable to supplier audits.

The course is run against ISO 9001: 2008 but can equally be based on other standards such as Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and others (e.g. internal company standards).
