Training | Integrated Management Systems
Integrated Management Systems (IMS) Internal Auditor Training
Learn to audit ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 as one system. A practical,
interactive course for teams across the UAE, the GCC and India.
Duration3 Days
FormatClassroom, Online or In-house
LevelIntermediate
OutcomeCertificate of Completion
Overview
One framework. One audit. Less duplication.
An integrated management system combines several ISO standards into a single framework,
so your organisation works in a more unified way and manages the business more
effectively. ISO requires that auditors are competent. This course helps you meet
that requirement.
ISO 9001 Quality
ISO 14001 Environment
ISO 45001 OH&S
ISO 27001 Information Security
Who should attend?
- People new to auditing an IMS who have been asked to run internal audits
- Anyone involved in planning, managing or implementing internal audit systems
- Those who need to identify gaps in the effectiveness of their IMS
- Those who want continual business process improvement
Before you join
All delegates should have prior knowledge of Annex SL, the common structure
behind modern ISO management system standards.
New to ISO standards? Start with a foundation course first:
ISO 9001,
ISO 14001 or
ISO 45001.
Learning outcomes
What you will learn
You will gain an overview of process-based management system standards built on the

2
Auditing skills
The core skills of an effective, objective and confident internal auditor.
3
Planning and management
Planning, preparing and managing audits from start to finish.
4

Conducting process audits and reporting findings clearly.
This course refers briefly to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001 and ISO 45001, but it is not
designed to cover the clauses of each standard in depth.
For clause-level knowledge, see our ISO foundation courses.

FAQs
Common questions
Do I need prior ISO knowledge?
Yes. Delegates should know Annex SL. If you are new to ISO standards, take a foundation course first.
Does the course cover every clause of ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001?
No. It focuses on auditing skills for an integrated system rather than clause-by-clause study of each standard.
Does this satisfy the ISO requirement for competent internal auditors?
ISO requires that auditors are competent and staff are trained. This course is designed to support that requirement.
Can the course be delivered at our premises or online?
Yes. We can run it in-house for your team or online. Contact us to discuss dates and group size.
Will we receive a certificate?
Delegates receive a certificate of completion after the course.
