Audit principles and the ISO 19011 framework
The seven principles of auditing and the ISO 19011 guidelines that define professional auditing practice for management system standards
Audit programme management
Design, implement, and manage a risk-based internal audit programme that meets the requirements of ISO 9001 Clause 9.2 and satisfies certification body expectations
Planning an individual audit
Define scope and criteria, build a sampling strategy, develop audit checklists, and prepare the opening meeting agenda for a rigorous, objective audit
Conducting the audit: on-site techniques
Interview technique, document review, observation, and evidence-gathering methods that produce findings a certification body cannot challenge
Writing nonconformities and audit findings
Structure nonconformity statements that are evidence-based, clause-referenced, and clear enough to drive meaningful corrective action
Audit reporting
Produce audit reports that are factual, well-structured, and positioned to secure management commitment to the corrective actions required
Follow-up, corrective action, and audit closure
Verify that corrective actions address root cause, confirm effectiveness, close nonconformities formally, and feed findings back into the audit programme
Professional assessment and certification
Demonstrate end-to-end internal auditor competency across the full ISO 9001 audit lifecycle and earn your Certified Internal Auditor – Quality credential
Who is this course for?
Quality professionals conducting internal audits
You already conduct or support internal audits and want the formal training, structured methodology, and certified credential that validates what you do and closes the gaps in how you do it.
QMS coordinators and managers
You're responsible for the internal audit programme and need a rigorous, end-to-end methodology — not a checklist — to run it with confidence and credibility.
Operations and compliance professionals new to auditing
You've been asked to conduct internal audits without formal auditor training and need the structure, technique, and credential to do the role properly from day one.
Quality professionals advancing their audit career
You want to move into more senior quality or audit roles and need a recognised internal auditor certification that demonstrates you can manage the full audit lifecycle independently.
Prerequisites
A working knowledge of ISO 9001 — its structure, clauses, and requirements — is strongly recommended before taking this course. Learners who are new to the standard should complete a QMS foundation course first. Practical experience in a quality management or operations role is helpful but not required.
