The ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor program builds the competence to lead first-, second- and third-party ISMS audits: the audit programme and plan, document review, on-site evidence gathering and interviews, grading nonconformities, the audit report, the certification decision and corrective-action follow-up.
Auditors are in demand at certification bodies, consultancies and internal-audit functions, and the Lead Auditor credential travels especially well across clients and industries. The course prepares you for the official PECB exam.
Eight modules across four phases take you from the standard and audit principles, through planning and conducting, to reporting, certification and the official exam.
This course suits professionals who assess ISMS conformity.
