ISO 9001 Trainings

Implementing and auditing an ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System (QMS) requires you to have people with particular knowledge and skills, and ISO training is the best way to obtain these. ISO 9001 training comes in several varieties, from training to implement and maintain the Quality Management System of a company or other type of organization, to training for individuals who will be certified for auditing the QMS.

ISO 9001 Foundations training provides students with the necessary knowledge of ISO 9001 to understand what is needed to comply with the standard.

Besides the ISO 9001 Foundations course, there are also ISO 9001 Internal Auditor, Lead Auditor, and Lead Implementer courses in which information about auditing and implementation of the standard is presented, and also how to lead audit and implementation teams.

There are two types of audit: An internal audit is when someone within the company audits the QMS, while the certification audit is when the certification body sends auditors to ensure that the Quality Management System meets the ISO 9001 requirements. To become an internal auditor, you would need to complete an internal audit training course. To become an ISO 9001 auditor and work for certification bodies, you first need to pass the final exam in the ISO 9001 Lead Auditor course.

Once approved, you have to find a certification body willing to accept you as a training auditor, so you can accumulate audit hours working on certification audits under the guidance of more experienced auditors.

As you accumulate experience, you will receive more tasks and responsibilities, until you can lead your own team of certification auditors.

Yes, an individual can get ISO 9001 certified by attending some of the following courses and by passing the exam:

• ISO 9001 Lead Implementer course – intended for advanced practitioners and consultants.
• ISO 9001 Lead Auditor course – intended for auditors in certification bodies and for consultants.
• ISO 9001 Internal Auditor course – intended for people who will perform internal audits in their company.
• ISO 9001 Foundations course – intended for people who want to learn the basics of the standard, and the main steps in the implementation.

If you are going to work as an auditor for a certification body, being certified as an ISO 9001 lead auditor is mandatory; but, is it worthwhile for the other accreditations? An important part of the ISO 9001:2015 QMS is to identify the competence required of employees, and to ensure that they obtain this competence. By being certified, it is easy to show that these competence requirements are met – not only for yourself, but also for any customer, certification body auditors, or other interested parties who may need proof that you know what you are doing in your QMS.
