WHAT IS IT?
ISO9001 is Quality Management System that many businesses use as the foundation upon which they add their unique industry requirements. Many firms are already ISO Certified, and many more are becoming certified as their customers require it or they are trying to attract new business. 
 

In this training, participants will gain the knowledge and skills they need to audit your company’s quality system to the ISO9001 standard, the requirements, auditing principles, how to establish an audit program, gather objective evidence, and prepare audit conclusions. In addition to the lecture, participants will get to do experiential activities and gain hands-on auditing practice. There will be ample time throughout the training for questions and answers.
 

OBJECTIVES:
• Explain the purposes of the ISO9001 standard.
• Describe the structure and elements of ISO9001.
• Describe the changes included in ISO9001 updates.
• Understand the importance of a “process approach” and what the strategy means for organizations.
• Explain the basic principles, techniques, and steps for auditing to ISO9001.
• Describe techniques for effectively working with others when conducting audits.

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Personnel involved in conducting or supporting internal audits. Your company doesn’t need to be ISO9001 registered to benefit from this training; your trained employees can audit your current quality systems as a method to continuously improve.
