The ATOl Extended Learning Program

ATOL courses are broken up into a series of modules followed by related assessments completed as part of the learning, step-by-step, module-by-module. You can exit and reenter your course at any point without losing your place.

This course consists of the following modules: 

Introduction to Management Systems Auditing Managing the Audit Programme
The Auditor Competence of the Auditor
Audit Procedures Initiating the Audit
Initiating the Audit (Team Leader Requirements) Conducting the Document Review
Conducting the Document Review (Team Leader Requirements) Prepare for Audit Activities

This course includes the advantage of the ATOL Extended Learning Program (ELP). 

*This course does not include a copy of ISO 19011:2018 as it is not required for you to complete your training.  Course content includes extracts from the standards in the form of clause statements as per the example below.

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.

Love the Q&A video example. If I'd seen that when I did this training, I'd have been in there every week when I was training. Such a supportive group of people.
