‘In House’ programme option (minimum 6 participants)
Training and assessment is customized to suit the needs of your organisation, typically by providing the opportunity for participants to not only learn the skills of auditing, but to carry out “live” audits of their organisation’s own Management System, which can then count as part of their audit experience.
