Auditor Workshops

Auditor Workshops

We have created a range of highly interactive ISO 9001 workshops and informative courses to complement our ISO training.

Designed to help motivate and inform auditors via knowledge and soft skills training, the workshops are perfect for auditing teams that would benefit from additional training support.

Focusing on crucial auditor skills, we can help your team gain confidence with supplier auditing, help them improve their ISO 9001 risk-based thinking, teach top management ISO 9001 leadership responsibilities or refresh auditing skills.

Anyone attending one of our ISO 9001 workshops will receive a Batalas certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is an audit?

    This is a common question alongside ‘What does an audit do?’ - put simply, it’s about checking that what’s supposed to happen is happening, not just in terms of rules being followed but also in the effectiveness of processes and systems, for example, are they delivering the results we expect them to deliver?

    For more information, see our video 'What is an Audit?'

  • What does an internal auditor do?

    An internal auditor collects evidence of conformity by interviewing personnel, reviewing documented information, and observing process activities. While doing this they may identify nonconformities or flag potential issues.

  • What is a Risk-based approach in an internal audit?

    A Risk-based approach is an auditing principle that considers risks and opportunities to ensure audits are planned and conducted with a focus on activities that are important to the organization – i.e., those that might present higher risks than others. For instance, in an ISO 9001 QMS this would ensure there is appropriate focus on processes that are critical to customer satisfaction, whereas in an ISO 14001:2015 EMS, this would ensure there is appropriate focus on processes that have environmental significance.

    For more support, view our Risk-Based Thinking workshop.

  • What skills do auditors need?

    As an auditor, you must have the ability to ask good questions relevant to the criteria being audited against. And just as you would in any normal conversation, you must listen to the answers as they may inspire you to ask further questions you may not have considered. In addition, you must have good observation skills and the ability to check the details.

    For more support, take a look at our 'Audit Skills Workshop'.

  • What is a supplier audit?

    Although a Supplier Audit is not typically a requirement of ISO Management System Standards, it can be a useful way of evaluating supplier capability, conformity, and performance. For instance, conducting an audit to see if a supplier has the capability to take on a new commission, is meeting contractual requirements, or is performing to contractual targets based on key performance indicators. A supplier audit comprises interviewing, observing and gathering evidence, and can be conducted by internal auditors or lead auditors. (Note: there may be organization or customer requirements in place that demand Lead Auditor status.)

    Ancuta Neacsu University Hospital Southampton NHS Trust ISO 9001 Internal Auditor

    Considering e-Learning is my LESS favourite go to training way I was presently surprised, this was mainly due to the way the instructor delivered the sessions, the instructional technic tried to simulate that you were learning in a conference room by using projectors, flip charts etc.

    I learned more than i expected. Knowledgeable trainers – Great stories related to Auditing – the little things.

    Craig Gifford-Browne ISO 9001 Lead Auditor

    Craig Lamont Evergreen Garden Care Ltd. ISO 9001 Internal Auditor

    The pre-course questions are an excellent source to encourage attendee’s to do some research. On a personal note I felt I would have settled into the course sooner had I already had a copy of the standards so I would suggest to encourage purchasing/reading through the standard.

    Sharon Northampton ISO 9001 Foundation

    Very informative, and liked the way the tutor sections provided guidance and understanding. Very easy to navigate through the course, with tabs and menu bar available at all times. One of the best E-Learning course I have taken/used and would definitely recommend to others.

    Very well delivered course with appropriate examples and involvement
