About the Course

Graduates of QAI's Internal Audit class will leave with actual audit experience.  Students will be ready to conduct audits as soon as they return from the class.

Students in this course receive a well-rounded view of Quality Management Systems as a whole concept. They learn about the specific requirements of the ISO9001 standard and relate the requirements, and sometimes the lack of requirements. This provides your organization with the flexibility to define a QMS that works for your organizations’ needs.

A series of progressive learning, hands-on, practice process auditing exercises utilizing specially developed Case Study QMS documentation is used. These are designed by professional auditors to help students learn to develop process audit skills in a measured approach.

By the time the course has ended, each student will have been involved with 10 practice audits.  Each practice session provides more opportunities to experience auditing first-hand.  Each practice helps the student to improve by capitalizing on their earlier audit experiences.

This course provides the chance to practice auditing with other individuals at similar skill levels (beginners and intermediates) in a controlled, classroom environment under the guidance of internationally certified auditors and course facilitators.  Students leave this course with actual audit experience having participated in challenging, fun and interactive mock audit scenarios staged by QAI course designers.  

If you are looking for lecture-oriented, "theory only" training - this is not the place for you. This is a hands-on training where students learn by doing. The QAI training session is sixteen hours of fast-paced learning with lots of hands-on opportunities.  Because students leave this class with actual auditing experience, this is the best class of its type available for those who really prefer to put their knowledge and skills to work immediately.  

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 training, students get real-world, professional know-how partnered with outstanding training materials.  A handsome, durable, and professionally prepared student book will display well. It will serve nicely as a reference for years to come. 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.  QAI uses the Cisco Webex Training System. 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
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 virtual training 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.
-QAI will ship our high-quality student workbook and a copy of the standard to the student two weeks ahead of start date to the address specified in the virtual training readiness quiz.  
-The student will receive an invitation to the virtual training event about one-week before start date.
-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.
-Training usually takes place in a quiet area.  Please join from a quiet space (another reason for a headset)
