About the course:

Since 1999, QAI has taught tens of thousands of people to be effective auditors, audit team members, and audit team leaders.  Our successful pass-fail rate of over 98% proves that point.  

In 2006, QAI paved the way for a Lead Auditor training class that matches the normal working hours that adults are accustomed to working. In the past, cramming in an outdated style of "brain dump training" culminated with the results of a 2-hour exam on day five was the norm.

In the QAI Competency Based Lead Auditor training session, students get four days of 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. instruction.  

With multiple, progressive learning approaches, including hands-on practice auditing, our EMS Lead Auditor training course prepares graduates to become proficient and professional EMS auditors. 

The course includes a complete and thorough review of the ISO14001 standard. It includes a look back at the history of environmental movements that have led to the current standardized approach of the ISO14001 system.  

The workshop includes a special section for identifying Environmental Aspects and ranking and identifying their potential impact. We’ll describe what is required, what to include, how to maintain them, what auditors will look for, and what internal auditors should look for.  This session includes a practical recommendation for a means to easily facilitate and accomplish this process using established industry tools. 

Lecture topics will include implementation and documentation strategies and methods. Workshop activities are designed to strengthen the ability to assess a complete EMS system and its conformance to the standard. 

Group case studies with mock auditing, reinforce the learning process and help to familiarize students with process auditing. The course is designed around an actual case study of a facility and its’ Environmental Management System. Students end the course conducting an assessment of the case study facility and making a recommendation on registration. 

Competency based training
Competency based training includes is learning by doing.  Not just lecture:  there are hours and hours of hands-on activities and practice activities to help make auditing easier and practical. This help make the training enjoyable, easy to learn, go by quickly, challenging but fun. Students get results that are measurable. The multiple examination of activities that take place several times each day. Students receive feedback and guidance in each examination activity.  The feedback and guidance help make certain that students not only understand the material but are able to apply it in their job.  The multiple examinations help instructors assure that a student understands and grasps the material. Instructors can then provide tailored guidance to help the student understand any gaps that may not have been closed to that point.  Reassessing and re-guiding from an instructor with "real world" experiences helps to improve confidence in abilities, helps in applying the newly learned information, and improves your competence. When students leave this course they already know if they have passed the course – there’s no more waiting for results of a final examination like the old, boot camp days of Lead Auditor training.   Instructors like this format too because they get feedback along the way about how well they are transferring critical knowledge.  It is a blend that works for everyone.


About our instructors:
With energetic, enthusiastic, and experienced internationally certified auditors as instructors, students get more than "slide readers" at all QAI training sessions. In this QAI Lead Auditor course, students get real-world, professional know-how partnered with outstanding training materials.  Additionally, receiving the support of an ISO9001 registered training company is a great bonus. 

About the virtual training:
Virtual training is conducted in the time zone listed.  In order for the virtual training to be interactive, like our in-person sessions always were, we use multiple tools to accomplish collaboration and document sharing.  This requires that a student have multiple browser windows open at the same time. There’s no way around this in the virtual world.  For instance, you will review an electronic copy of a process and you will need to complete an electronic form at the same time.  That will require two-windows to be open at the same time. People comment that it should be all on one screen- it is on one screen: yours with multiple windows open. We have yet to find a way around that reality.

Tools you will need, want, or wish you had for virtual training:
Windows 10 operating system or better
A headset with microphone is STRONGLY Suggested
Dual Monitors is STRONGLY suggested (definitely helps with the multiple browser windows)
Ability to access QAI’s SharePoint folders and sites for the training

After you register for a class:
-Registered students will receive an email from QAI to test their readiness for the virtual training
-Once the student completes the readiness quiz, they will be accepted into the training roster.
-The training starts at 8a.  Students can join up to the 30-minutes prior to the start time just to ensure there are no connectivity issues.
