Leading Integrated Management System Audit Teams

Achieve international recognition as an Integrated Management Systems (IMS) Lead Auditor through our comprehensive training. This qualification equips you with the knowledge to conduct and lead both internal and external audits in line with Quality, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems standards. The skills acquired are applicable globally across all industry sectors.

Our Lead Auditor Integrated Management Systems course not only offers qualifications in the three key areas of ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 but also provides an additional module titled 'Understanding an IMS'. This module aims to deepen your understanding of both the common and unique clauses of these standards and their integration with other ISO standards under the High-Level Structure (HLS), enriching your expertise in the field.

By participating in the Lead Auditor IMS Specialist course, you will not only reduce costs but also acquire a broader and deeper comprehension of Integrated Management Systems, enhancing your professional growth and knowledge.

Knowledge Checks

At the end of each module, you are given the opportunity to complete a non-graded Knowledge Check before moving on to your final assessments. You can view the content and complete the knowledge checks as many times as you like.  These are marked instantly by the learning management system so you know exactly which content you may need to review further.  This gets you confident and prepared to do the final module assessment.

Module Assessment

Once you are confident that you have a thorough understanding of the content you can move on to the module assessment. You are given three attempts at each assessment, after which it is locked for review by a trainer and assessor to see how we can best help you. The assessment is then unlocked for another three attempts, providing you with the time and support needed to review content, review results, and consult with assessors.  

We have found that students with all types of learning styles find this an effective way to receive their qualifications.
