Updated: May 30, 2023.

ISO 9001 training comes in several varieties, from training to help support the creation and maintenance of a Quality Management System (QMS) for a company, to training for individuals who will be certified for auditing the QMS of companies for certification bodies. Here is a listing of some of the most popular ISO 9001 training courses:

  • ISO 9001 Lead Auditor course
  • ISO 9001 Lead Implementer course
  • ISO 9001 Internal Auditor course
  • ISO 9001 Foundations course

Lead Auditor online training with video lessons and workshops

The ISO 9001 Lead Auditor course is an online, mostly self-paced training consisting of 30 hours, with a focus on understanding the ISO 9001 Quality Management System standard and using it for auditing management systems.

The Lead Auditor course is divided into three parts: a video library, an interactive workshop, and a certification exam. The video library includes lectures and practical information about the standard and how to prepare for the ISO 9001 audit, lead the audit team, perform the audit, and prepare the final audit report. A workshop helps you practice the concepts necessary for auditing the standard, guided by top experts. Successful completion of the exam ensures that you earn a certificate and a badge for your LinkedIn profile to highlight your qualifications.

After this, it is possible to be hired by a certification body (organizations that can grant ISO 9001 certification to companies) to audit a company’s Quality Management System against the ISO 9001 standard. This course is often used by implementers of ISO 9001 in order to learn more about the standard and to find out the criteria that will be used by the certification bodies.

When choosing which lead auditor course to attend, always look for a course that is accredited by a third party in order to ensure quality. And always check the experience of the experts who have prepared and presented the training.
