First, second, and third-party audits

By learning how to conduct all three types, professionals become versatile auditors who can work independently, in organizations, or with international certification bodies.

  • Each ISO standard has its own structure, but lead auditors are trained to handle each with precision.

ISO standards are updated periodically (e.g., ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015), and lead auditor training includes the most current version so participants stay updated with modern compliance expectations.
