Which ISO Training Is Right for You?

The three levels of ISO training serve three different goals. Use this quick guide to choose:

ISO Lead Auditor Training – CQI-IRCA Accredited

IAS, in partnership with our sister concern, Empowering Assurance Systems (EAS), offers CQI-IRCA Accredited ISO Lead Auditor Training. This voluntary certification course is designed for professionals with relevant experience who want to become certified lead auditors. It helps delegates understand the requirements of the ISO standard and provides a complete audit approach, training participants to perform First Party (internal), Second Party (supplier), and Third Party (external) audits of an ISO management system.

Successful completion of the Lead Auditor Training course helps you become an internationally recognized IRCA certified lead auditor able to perform external third-party audits.

Lead Auditor Standards Available

IAS provides IRCA accredited Lead Auditor Training across a range of ISO standards, including:

Course delivery: 5 days, 40 hours, available in open classroom and virtual training modes.

Who Should Take Lead Auditor Training?

This course is recommended for business professionals who want to further their career and conduct audits both within their company and as external third-party auditors. Graduates are eligible to be hired by certification bodies and corporate companies as lead auditors. Prior knowledge of the PDCA cycle and ISO management systems is recommended before enrolling.

ISO Internal Auditor Training

Internal Auditor Training is provided to process owners and managers so they can conduct ISO audits in their areas of activity as planned and documented. Internal audits must be completed for a business to pass third-party certification audits, so internal auditors need a thorough understanding of both the internal control structure and the ISO standard they are auditing against.

IAS provides over 20 internal auditor training courses. The most popular include:

Course delivery: 2 days, 15 hours, or 30-day self-learning mode, available in open classroom, virtual, and self-learning formats.

Who Should Take Internal Auditor Training?

This course suits anyone interested in internal auditing, audit procedures, the methodological aspects of ISO standards, and the principles behind them. On completion, participants are able to conduct audits within their own organization.

ISO Foundation and Awareness Training

The purpose of Foundation and Awareness Training is to raise awareness of an ISO standard, its principles, and its implementation methods. It is ideal for all employees at the start of a standard’s implementation, or for new hires joining an organization where a standard is already in place. IAS offers awareness training for over 20 ISO standards.

Course delivery: 1 day, 4-5 hours, or 30-day self-learning mode, available in open classroom, virtual, and self-learning formats. No prior experience in management systems is required.

Industries That Rely on ISO Training in the USA

ISO training adds value in virtually every sector. Manufacturers and engineering firms train auditors for ISO 9001 and IATF 16949; food and beverage companies build teams around ISO 22000 and HACCP; technology, SaaS, and financial services invest in ISO 27001; healthcare providers and laboratories pursue ISO 13485 and ISO 17025; and energy-intensive operations develop ISO 50001 expertise.
