Course Objectives:

This highly interactive course takes participants through all stages of an integrated EMS/QMS audit using a realistic case study, which emphasizes challenges in conducting an integrated audit and the resulting business value. Through workshops, discussions, and role playing, the participants will prepare for, conduct, and report on an integrated audit against the ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 standards. The integrated audit will be conducted to meet the requirements of the auditing standard, ISO 19011. From this experience, course participants will learn how to accurately interpret and audit the ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 requirements. Course participants will also learn how to develop an effective integrated audit program, establish or improve an integrated audit system using the existing EMS or QMS internal audit system, and plan and conduct balanced integrated audits.
