Internal Quality Auditing

Introduction

Internal Quality Auditing is a core competency for organisations seeking ISO certification, regulatory compliance, operational excellence, and continuous improvement. Effective internal audits ensure that processes are controlled, risks are managed, and non‑conformities are identified before they escalate into major failures.

This course equips participants with the knowledge and practical skills required to plan, conduct, report, and follow up internal audits based on ISO 19011:2018, ISO 9001:2015, and other management system standards. It is designed for Quality, HSE, Operations, Engineering, and Compliance professionals who contribute to organisational governance and assurance.
