INTERNAL AUDITS
This course is delivered by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) and is recognised nationally and internationally for a practical and hands-on approach to training in systems auditing.
Overview
All quality systems include the requirement for an effective internal audit function. This function ensures the management system is being implemented as intended, and is an important tool for identifying continuous improvement processes.
This course is based on the principles contained within ISO 19011 Guidelines for quality and/or environmental management systems auditing, and hence applies equally to ISO 9001, ISO14001, ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 15189.
