PROGRAM DETAILS

Introduction

As systems are implemented for Quality, Environment and for Health & Safety auditors need to expand their knowledge and skills base to include all these systems into one audit so as to be able to audit more cost effectively and bring the system understanding under one auditing method and in so doing learn the necessary skills to conduct such an audit. All Delegates will be able to use the workshop material to begin the process of Integrated Auditing in their organization within a short period after the workshop. Delegates will have sound knowledge of the skills and various techniques of Integrated Auditing; Delegates will be able to complete the new type documentation required for such auditing requirements, and use word power in their Integrated Audit reports. This course will improve the delegate’s auditing professionalism.

Learning Objectives

Participants attending the workshop will:

• Understand the requirements for an Integrated Management System,
• Learn common integrated system non-conformances,
• Use different questioning techniques during an integrated audit,
• Be able to create integrated questions and questionnaires,
• Learn appropriate listening skills,
• Understand various statistical techniques for auditing,
• Be able to use word power in their audit reports,
• Create challengeable and non-challengeable reports.

Target Audience

• Those who are auditors, with a good two to three years of experience.
• Current Integrated Auditors, needing to up-skill their capabilities.
• Lead Auditors so that they can manage integrated audits with this knowledge.
• Certifying Auditors who are called our, or would like to be assigned Integrated audits.
• Quality managers who manage the auditing function of their organisation.
• Project managers who need their projects properly audited, for clients with such management systems.

Target Methodology

The training process is based on a carefully planned mix of succinct tutor input – with practical illustration of tools and concepts, group work on case studies (all video based – and lively), feedback, and selective work on individual issues in pairs.

The training is based on the systems to enable complete learning. There will also be some opportunity for role play. You will receive a toolkit within the material for subsequent everyday use.

Since many of the examples are in Excel® delegates need to bring their own laptops for this course.
