IRCA announces new internal QMS auditor and ISO 9000:2000 Series foundation course
IRCA has introduced two new training courses to help organizations
realize the advantages of the improved ISO 9001 model.
IRCA director, Simon Feary emphasizes that “the real
benefits of business improvement can only be achieved if organizations
have a robust approach to process assessment that adds value.
Organizations must treat internal audits as a vital business
management activity and ensure that those people who perform
audits are competent. The two new IRCA training courses will
provide the necessary skills and understanding at both auditor
and management level.”
The IRCA internal QMS auditor training course
will help provide staff with the necessary skills and knowledge
to audit their organization's business processes. Employees
who successfully complete the course will have the demonstrated
the following competencies:
- an understanding of their role in the maintenance and improvement
of management systems through business process improvement
- an understanding of the process-based Quality Management
System, and how an ISO 9001:2000 quality management system
can benefit an organization and its customers
- an ability to prepare for and perform the audit of business
processes
- an ability to write factual, value-adding, audit reports
that help management to improve the effectiveness of the business.
This course can be completed in a minimum of 14 hours and emphasizes
practical audit skills. Students receive feedback on their achievement
of the relevant knowledge and skills through the robust student
assessment processes.
The new IRCA ISO 9000:2000 Series foundation training course
provides management with a detailed understanding
of the ISO 9000:2000 series of standards, especially the requirements
of ISO 9001:2000 and is suitable for those involved in the design,
implementation and maintenance of quality management systems
from top management down. The course can be taken as a classroom-based
course (7 hours) or through distance learning (20 hours).
