IATF 16949:2016 Lead Auditor Training

Course overview: 

This course is designed for auditors managing an organisations internal audit programme and those undertaking 2nd party audits within the supply chain.

Delegates should have a working knowledge of quality systems within the automotive sector and/or any previous auditing experience.

This course will help auditors develop relevant skills in judgement, decision making, audit planning, audit non-conformity writing and subsequent close out related to the new IATF16949:2016 standard. Internal auditing and familiarity with ISO9001 and ISO/TS16949:2009 would be beneficial but not a necessity.

Benefits and Learning Objectives:  

This participative course is made up of a number of modules supported by group exercises and open discussion. Delegates are evaluated through a proctored knowledge and application exam at the end of the course.
