PT255: Quality Management System Internal Auditor based on ISO 17025:2017 (CQI and IRCA Course Approval No – 1867)
This course aims to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to carry out internal audits based on ISO 17025:2017 and in accordance with ISO 19011:2011.
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is applicable to organizations that perform testing, sampling, or calibration and require reliable results. These organizations include government, industry, universities, research centers, regulators, inspection bodies, product certification organizations, and others.
Over the 4-day course, participants will gain knowledge on laboratory quality management systems and auditing techniques. Through interactive sessions, exercises, and discussions, attendees will become competent in conducting audits by applying recognized audit principles, procedures, and techniques, while managing an audit program and team.
Understand audit competence requirements for testing and calibration laboratories.
Establish an internal audit checklist.
Write value-adding audit reports.
Identify opportunities for improvements.
Identify and address nonconformances in the laboratory.
Contribute to value addition and improve the organization’s Laboratory Management System.
Interpret the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 as it relates to management system standards.
Understand the PDCA cycle and process-based quality management systems.
Plan and conduct internal audits based on ISO 17025 and ISO 19011.
Understand the role of internal audits in maintaining and improving Quality Management Systems.
Identify deficiencies, report results, and follow up on internal audits.
Perform the role of an Auditor to plan, conduct, report, and follow up on audits in accordance with ISO 19011.
Analyze ISO 17025 requirements during audits.
Prior knowledge of the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard is recommended. This course enhances existing knowledge about audits and does not cover the basics of the standard.
