Many people enroll in ISO Auditor Training worldwide.
When Covid 19 became a fact of life for everyone in the world, classroom courses disappeared and were replaced by the video conferencing. After Covid, remote auditing became a norm and has become a cost effective alternative for companies and a time savings for auditors.

Of important note is that the majority of people who become an ISO Lead Auditor never embark on the course of becoming a full time auditor. There are a number of reasons for this:

Firstly, being a good auditor requires practice, perseverance and constant application. ISO auditing cannot be a part time job unless the auditor is a retiree. Even then, the auditor needs to keep current in his/her qualifications.

Secondly, when you are a highly qualified ISO auditor you are typically in high demand and hence very busy. What this means is that you will have a very rigid schedule of audits which can quite often be back to back or week to week. A typical audit can last anywhere from 1 to 5 days depending on the requirements. This means that a typical auditor will always be travelling and living in a hotel and eating at restaurants all the time. Now for some people this sounds like a lot of fun but I can assure you it’s not for the faint of heart. Travelling for work is totally different than travelling while on vacation. If you travel for a long time, it makes for a lonely existence. Most people typically don’t fare well over a long term “living out of a suitcase”.

Thirdly, ISO auditing is hard work. If you take it seriously it’s mentally tiring. Auditing an organization is serious business. The reputation of the Certifying body is in jeopardy if the ISO auditor is not competent. Moreover the livelihood of an organization is at stake if an auditor does not exercise good common sense or discretion while auditing. This is because some companies are required to have ISO 9001:2015 certification in good standing in order to continue doing business with their customers. This not only means current business but future business. Many customers do not allow a company to bid on new business if they’re not ISO 9001:2015 certified. In fact, governments around the world are starting to make it mandatory that a company be ISO certified before they are even allowed to bid on a government project. Even large companies won’t allow a prospective supplier to bid on work if they are not showing a minimum of ISO 9001 certification.

ISO Auditing is a very serious and respectable profession. ISO Certification Consultants Inc. is one such professional organization.

ISO Audit Training is performed by a number of companies worldwide.
Over the years, training has become an additional business line to Certification auditing, citifying and consulting business’s. Training has become the logical adjunct.

The quality of ISO Audit Training is predicated on some basic facts:

Firstly, this type of training is done in a classroom setting at a pre-designated offsite location.
The advantage of this type of training is

a) the student is away from work or home and therefore does not have the typical distractions,

b) person to person mentoring and training is improved which can overcome speech and language barriers.

c) improved synergy through the interactions of class participants as everyone comes to the class with different levels of knowledge and experience. This type of networking is advantageous to participants on a a number of levels.

Secondly, ISO Audit Training is only as good as the training literature and knowledge and experience of the lecturer.
This point alone separates the excellent from the average in this industry.

It’s important to note that no matter the quality of training provided, true understanding and comprehension only comes from doing. Like any new skill acquired, it’s repetition and practice which provides the ultimate validation of knowledge and learning. Many who partake in ISO Audit Training do so in order to gain a better understanding of the ISO Audit Process and the mind of the ISO auditor. Only a very small percentage of people ever embark on a career of ISO Auditing. There are a number of reasons for this.

Covid 19 made classroom ISO Audit Training defunct. This fact had forced company’s who provided this service to re-think their business. The high quality services provided by video conferencing companies have opened up a new vista of training never seen or considered before. However video conferencing training has also provided new challenges. For instance, Lecturers/trainers who do not have a good command of the language are at a disadvantage.

This factor can reduce the communication and comprehension of material presented. Also, the quality of the training literature becomes a very key component to the mastery of the material communicated. Lastly, the quality of a student’s computer and internet connectivity can often times be the limiting factor to having a satisfactory online experience.

ISO Certification Consultants Inc. understands these challenges and has tailored their ISO Audit Training to compensate for what can be controlled. However no Training organization can compensate for poor hardware, software and connectivity. If you are looking for classroom and online training, contact us for more information. 416-622-0022

What is an ISO Audit

What is an ISO Audit?
Well, there’s nothing really tricky about what an ISO audit is.
Simply speaking, it’s the process which an organization undertakes to audit their compliance to the relevant tenets of the ISO 9001:2015 as well as multiple other ISO standards. It is performed by a certified ISO Lead auditor.

Depending on the complexity of the audit, it can require one of more auditors. This requirement is always discussed in advance with the client company. This is the general statement to what is an ISO Audit.

Covid 19 re-defined some of the widely accepted methods of ISO auditing. Necessity is the mother of invention and in the ISO audit world this also true. ISO auditors are now performing more remote or online audits to support the needs of many organizations. This also translates into a cost savings to companies as well as a time savings for many auditors who also have to factor in travel time in getting to companies around the country.

ISO Certification Consultants Inc, with its associate certification body, has auditors who are ready to perform these necessary audits for your organization. Call us today to find out more. 416-622-0022
