Which course should I complete first?

Are you passionate about auditing and management systems but not sure where to start?

Where you start will depend on what you are hoping to achieve at the end of your course, and whether or not you need, want, or have, an existing auditor qualification.

Answer the questions below to see which training pathway may be best suited to your needs...

Do you need or want an auditor qualification?

NO 

If you simply want to understand one or more ISO standards... 

Try our Introduction to…’ courses!
These are a great stepping stone before diving in a little deeper; and you can always upgrade to a specialist qualification once you have completed this content. 

YES - Continue with the next question...

Do you have an existing auditor qualification?

NO

Do you want to understand one or more ISO standards, and would like a qualification?

Then try our Specialist’ courses! These are great for those people who would like evidence of their competence and understanding of specific ISO standards, either individually (Quality, Safety, Environment & HACCP or as an ‘Integrated Management Systems Specialist’).
Do you, or will you, be participating in Internal Audits as an audit team member and require evidence of your competency - either for your employer or certification? Then try our Internal Auditor courses! These are great for those who participate in an audit team but are not necessarily intending to ‘Lead’ the team.
You can also pair your Internal Auditor qualification with any of our specialist qualifications (Quality, Safety, EnvironmentHACCP or as an Integrated Management Systems Specialist’).
PLUS you can always add an ‘Audit Team Leader’ qualification down the track to become a qualified Lead Auditor – simply chat to our team about how you can have the best of both worlds!
Will you be Leading audit teams (either internal or external)?  If you answered yes to any or all of these three questions, then why not jump straight into the deep end and enrol in a Lead/External Auditor’ course?
These courses have all of the bells and whistles, plus just like the Internal Auditor courses can be paired with a specialist course to gain multiple qualifications at once.
Do you plan to conduct second or third party audits? or, 
Do you want to become a certified Lead Auditor?

YES

If you want to update an existing qualification...

Take a look at our ‘Bridging’ and ‘Upgrade’ courses, these courses address any changes between the current and previous revisions of ISO standards.

There are prerequisites for these courses, so be sure to talk with our team before enrolling.

If you want to add another standard to your scope... Our Specialist courses fill this gap too - you can complete one standard, or take a leap and completely become an Integrated Management Systems Specialist (Quality, Safety & Environment) all at once!
Did you know, if you already hold a Lead Auditor qualification for one standard, that is transferrable to others! That’s right, there is no need to redo the ‘Lead Auditor’ content every time you want to add a standard to your auditing repertoire!
If you are an Australian looking for Nationally Recognised Training & qualifications... Take a look at our BSBSS00128 Lead Auditor Skill Set, or if you already hold one of our Lead Auditor qualifications, check out the BSBSS00128 Lead Auditor Skill Set Upgrade.
