ISO 19011 training gives command of 'how' an audit is carried out (audit principles, managing the audit programme, conducting the audit and auditor competence), independently of any management system standard. It is the methodological basis of internal auditor and Lead Auditor training. Participants receive a certificate of attendance or achievement.
ISO 19011 is a guideline standard for auditing management systems and it covers audit principles, managing the audit programme, conducting the audit and evaluating the competence of auditors. The training addresses audit principles (integrity, fair presentation, due professional care, confidentiality, independence, evidence-based approach, risk-based approach), establishing and managing the audit programme, setting the audit objectives, scope and criteria, planning the audit and the field work, gathering objective evidence through interview and sampling techniques, forming findings, audit reporting, and evaluating the competence of the audit team and of the auditors. ISO 19011 is a guide for both first-party (internal) and second-party (supplier) audits; for certification (third-party) audits, reference is made to ISO/IEC 17021. This training strengthens the methodology behind internal auditor and Lead Auditor training.
The training suits internal auditors, quality managers responsible for the audit programme, teams that carry out supplier audits and anyone who wants to develop their audit competence. Standard-based knowledge (ISO 9001/14001/45001 and similar) is useful, but the training focuses on audit methodology that is independent of any standard. A certificate of attendance or achievement is issued at the end of the training. ISO 19011 training does not on its own grant an 'auditor certification'; it is assessed together with the relevant training for internal auditor or Lead Auditor competence. Sistem Patent Kalite delivers the training and can support the management of audit programmes with QMS Software.
Note: Training is delivered by Sistem Patent Kalite (Academy); participants receive a certificate of attendance or achievement. Training alone does not grant the related ISO certificate; certification is issued after the audit of an accredited certification body, and the training prepares you for that process. Internationally recognized qualifications such as Lead Auditor depend on the course being accredited or approved (for example by Exemplar Global or IRCA). Duration and scope are set according to your needs ().
No. ISO 19011 is a guideline standard for auditing management systems; organizations are not certified against it. The rules for certification (third-party) audits are set out in ISO/IEC 17021; ISO 19011 is a guide for internal and supplier audits.
Internal auditor training focuses on the internal audit of a specific standard (for example ISO 9001); ISO 19011 training goes deeper into audit methodology that is independent of any standard (principles, programme management, competence). The two complete each other.
It suits internal auditors, audit programme owners, teams that carry out supplier audits and quality professionals who want to strengthen their audit techniques.
Yes, a certificate of attendance or achievement is issued. It shows that you have taken audit methodology training; on its own it does not provide an accredited auditor title.
We will design the course around your team; you can also assign courses through the corporate training software (LMS) and track completion and certificates of attendance from a single platform.
