For organisations to ensure that they reap the full benefits of their Management Systems it is essential to have competent auditors whose task is to determine not just correct implementation but effectiveness, and highlight opportunities for continual improvement. This training provides students with the core competencies to audit management systems of all types based on the approach outlined in the ISO 19011 standard.

Suitable for:
- Those currently involved in any form of Management System implementation
- Those with expertise in areas such as environmental, quality, or safety management looking to gain knowledge and experience in auditing.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course students will have gained the following knowledge and skills and be able to:
- Establish audit objectives, scope and criteria
- Establish, plan and task the activities of an audit team
- Schedule audits and develop site audit plans and checklists

Learning Options
This training is available as:
- a 2 day course where training and assessment is designed to reflect actual audit conditions with students sampling a case study organisation’s management system, formulate an auditing strategy and gaining practical experience in the audit process.
- a mentored ‘live’ audit where one of our experienced auditors directs trainee auditors through a ‘hands on’ training and assessment process. Contact us directly at enquiry@andsamtraining.com.au.
an ‘In House’ programme where training and assessment is customised to suit the needs of your organisation, typically by providing the opportunity for students 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 the organisation’s audit programme.
