Integrated Management Systems Lead Auditor Course

An Integrated Management System (IMS) is the result of combining management systems into one, coherent, integrated system. Typically an IMS can consist of any combination of quality, environmental, safety and/or food safety management systems.

More and more companies are realising the spared duplicity, benefits of simplicity and other advantages of integrating their management systems into one manual, one system and often, one person coordinating all compliance. Consequently, the need for qualified IMS Lead Auditors is growing.

IMS Lead Auditors gain the necessary knowledge and skills to competently conduct third party assessments of integrated management systems, whilst gaining great insight into the certification process. Once complete, you can be confident to undertake an audit as part of an audit team or the team leader.

More specifically, as a qualified IMS Lead Auditor, you will know:

• how to ensure continual improvement can be derived from the audit process
• the audit process and relevant communication skills
• roles, responsibilities, and skills of an auditor
• management principles
• how to compile an audit report in order to give useful feedback
• how to set an appropriate audit scope, objectives and criteria
• ISO 9001 (International Standard for Quality Management Systems) in detail
• ISO 14001 (International Standard for Environmental Management Systems) in detail
• ISO 45001 (recognised Standards for Safety) in detail.
