ISO 22301 Training

About ISO 22301 Lead Auditor Training

In collaboration with Empowering Assurance Systems (EAS), IAS offers ISO 22301 lead auditor training courses in Canada. As an ISO 22301 Lead Auditor, you help ensure an organization adheres to the standard and learn how to strengthen business continuity management systems. The course is taught by seasoned professionals who work daily with ISO certification assessment, audit, and issuance, so you gain up-to-date, accurate knowledge of the procedures and requirements involved.  

Why ISO 22301 matters for Canadian organizations?

Business continuity and operational resilience are increasingly expected of Canadian organizations – particularly in finance, healthcare, energy, telecommunications, and government, where disruptions carry significant risk. ISO 22301 is the internationally recognized benchmark for a business continuity management system, and trained auditors help organizations build, audit, and maintain that resilience.

ISO 22301 Lead Auditor Training – duration and examination

The ISO 22301 lead auditor training is a five-day, 40-hour program. Our ISO 22301 lead auditor training course is accredited by CQI-IRCA, which is the leading ISO 22301 training provider across the globe. An IRCA examination is held on the fifth day, and candidates who pass receive the ISO 22301 Lead Auditor certificate.

ISO 22301 training levels

IAS also offers other ISO 22301 training courses alongside Lead Auditor Training:

ISO 22301 Awareness Training

Awareness training is an excellent choice if you are new to business continuity or want to understand the foundations of a BCMS. It provides a brief overview of the standard’s purpose, structure, and approach, and what it aims to achieve – ideal for the employees and workers who will be involved in implementing and applying the system. It builds an understanding of what, when, why, and how the system should be followed, along with the key do’s and don’ts.

ISO 22301 Internal Auditor Training

This course teaches you how to audit against ISO 22301, conduct a comprehensive audit using an audit checklist, identify non-conformities, and validate corrective actions. Because each ISO standard requires internal auditors to be suitably trained, ISO 22301 Internal Auditor Training is a fast, practical way to build the competence to audit your own organization’s BCMS and prepare it for external (third-party) audits.
