  • Internal Lead Auditor Training prepares auditors to assess and improve processes within their own organisation. It focuses on enhancing internal compliance and operational efficiency.
  • External Lead Auditor Training equips auditors to evaluate other organisations for compliance with industry standards, often for certification purposes. This training is ideal for those looking to become third-party auditors or consultants.

Both types of training develop essential auditing skills but are tailored to different auditing goals and audiences.

Through the auditor training courses offered by Auditor Training Co, participants can achieve internationally-recognised Exemplar Global competency units. These qualifications allow them to commence the process of becoming an Exemplar Global certified auditor in their chosen standard, such as ISO 9001 for Quality Management Systems, ISO 14001 for Environmental Management Systems, or ISO 45001 for Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems. 

Following training with Auditor Training Co, you can audit several key management systems depending on the specific courses you complete. Here are some of the systems you can audit:

  1. Quality Management Systems (ISO 9001): Learn to audit your organisation’s processes and procedures to ensure they meet the standards required for ISO 9001 certification, which focuses on quality management.
  2. Environmental Management Systems (ISO 14001): This training equips you to audit environmental management systems to ensure compliance with ISO 14001 standards, helping organisations minimise their environmental impact.
  3. Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems (ISO 45001): Gain the skills to audit OH&S management systems under ISO 45001, which is essential for ensuring workplace health and safety compliance.

Each course aligns with specific ISO standards and provides the necessary competencies to conduct both internal and external audits effectively within these frameworks.
