This intensive, challenging and highly interactive IRCA registered training program is for those people who require an in-depth understanding of the ISO ISO 9000 series standards, including ISO 9001:2008 and the range of auditing techniques and protocols associated with the lead auditor role.

Introduction
Every quality professional knows that the ISO 9000 series standards has introduced some significant additional requirements, but how many can honestly say they fully understand all the implications of these changes? How do the changes affect the design and management of the quality management system, and how has the process of auditing against the revised standard changed? This course is designed to answer all of these questions and more.

Who Should Attend?
This course satisfies the training requirements for those who wish to register as a lead auditor with the IRCA. It is also essential for any serious quality practitioner, particularly those with a responsibility to design, implement and manage a quality management system that meets the requirements of ISO 9001:2008. Other people who have found this course useful in the past have been internal quality auditors who have been looking to enhance their quality auditing knowledge and skills, and those looking to achieve formal recognition for the skills and knowledge that they possess.

Course Objectives
To enable those attending to lead an audit team whose objective it is to audit the quality management system of an organisation against the requirements of ISO 9001:2008.
