This is competency
based, certified, lead auditor training session. This course covers
requirements for both management systems of Environmental and Occupational
Health & Safety. It is designed for persons and organizations
that have both systems, that are considering expanding, or persons looking to
get exposure to either or both of the ISO standards in order to audit OHS &
EMS systems, and for persons that want to become Exemplar Global certified EMS
and/or OHS auditors.
About the course:
In this Lead Auditor course, students receive real-world, professional know-how
partnered with outstanding training materials. Additionally, you get the support of an ISO 9001 registered training
company.
Our Lead Auditor
training course prepares graduates to become proficient and effective
professional auditors. Students learn with multiple, progressive
learning approaches including hands-on practice auditing.
The course includes a detailed review of both ISO 45001 and
ISO 14001 standards in a side-by-side layout that speeds up the information
flow and also enables the ability to quickly ascertain where differences may
exist. Workshop activities help reinforce learning and lead to hands-on
opportunities for students to demonstrate competency. The entire session is a learning
process that is a progressive series of activities that build on each other.
Students learn, practice applying learned information, demonstrate competency,
and then we move to the next less. Review sessions combined with Q&A
sessions help solidify the base and become the launching point to the next
activity. Activities are combined into a student binder providing
students the chance to see, and further study if they like, how each activity
builds on the previous activity. This culminates at the end of the
training when students lead a closing meeting with the instructor to present
their audit findings and final recommendation for the weeklong audit that they
have been working on both as an audit team member and occasionally as the team leader.
Students must pass a comprehensive set of competency evaluations. Not just written tests; many of the evaluations
are hands-on activities that the student demonstrates the ability to conduct or
complete the task which is what competency based training is all about. By the conclusion of the multi-day review,
the student has demonstrated proficiencies at all of the tasks and activities
that are needed to be a Lead Auditor. A
final examination is part of this evaluation process.
For all ISO14001 lead auditor events, we have a special training module for
aspect-impact analysis. Students will learn a tried and true method to facilitate
this ISO 14001 requirements at your facility. This critical learning activity takes up to a few hours of class time.
For all ISO 45001 lead auditor events, there is a special module for Job
Hazards Analysis and Hazards Identification. This is a similar method to our environmental
approach, is a method we taught in previous OHSAS trainings, but focuses on the
updated requirements found in the new OH&S standard.
Auditing, team auditing, and leading an audit team are taught. Students
learn about process auditing, what a process audit looks like, and
how-to-perform a process audit. The formal structure of the audit is
taught so that students can exemplify the professionalism needed for
second and third-party audits. Opening and closing meetings are described
and practiced in the lead auditor workshop. Workshop activities are designed to
strengthen a student's ability to assess a complete management system and
its conformance to the dual management system requirements.
Group case studies with mock auditing reinforce the learning process and help
to further familiarize students with process auditing, but most
importantly provide the opportunity to put newly learned methods and techniques
into action is a safe, comfortable training environment with known outcomes and
under the tutelage of a seasoned professional.
The course is designed around a week-long case study of a fictitious facility
that is managing an OHS-EMS integrated Management System. Students end the course by completing the assessment
of the case study facility and making a recommendation on possible registration.
With competency based training, we
administer multiple examinations and activities throughout the
course. Assessments are made regarding competency.
Multiple assessments are therefore made. This means that students get
feedback at multiple points throughout their learning session. The
ability to receive feedback and make adjustments right away helps improves a
student's learning experience. No giant final examination and no cram session
for a final examination is necessary. Students are being examined and
assessed throughout the entire class. When they leave the class,
they will already know if they have successfully passed the course.
They won't have to wait for weeks to find out exam results when you choose QAI
as your training partner.
Class hours are 8a-5p daily with no
assigned homework!
If you're in line to take a lead auditor training class and have blended
systems at your organization or are considering blended systems, you'll really like
the QAI competency- based training for blended EMS & OH&S systems.
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.
-Training usually takes place in a quiet area.
Please join from a quiet space (another reason for a headset)
