IAS delivers ISO 9001 Lead Auditor Training for professionals and organisations in Chennai. The course builds the practical skills to plan, lead, report and follow up audits of an ISO 9001 (ISO 9001:2015) management system, following the auditing principles of ISO 19011 and ISO/IEC 17021.
Our head office is in Chennai, and IAS delivers the same CQI/IRCA-certified Lead Auditor course here — delivered through our sister organisation EAS — that we run internationally. The programme is available to Chennai delegates in classroom, live-virtual and in-house formats.
About the ISO 9001 Lead Auditor Course
The ISO 9001 Lead Auditor course is a five-day (40-hour) programme covering audit planning, opening and closing meetings, gathering and evaluating objective evidence, raising and grading nonconformities, and managing an audit team — all against the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 and the guidance of ISO 19011. On successful completion of the course and the written examination, delegates receive a CQI/IRCA-accredited certificate of course completion, recognised globally.
What You Will Learn
You will learn to interpret the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 — the process approach, risk-based thinking and the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle — and apply them to a real quality management system audit. The course covers preparing an audit plan and checklist, conducting opening and closing meetings, gathering objective evidence through interview and sampling, and writing accurate nonconformity reports. By the end of the course delegates can plan and lead first-, second- and third-party audits, document findings clearly, and drive corrective action that improves the management system.
Who Should Attend in Chennai?
The course suits quality managers, management representatives, QMS consultants and internal auditors in Chennai who plan to conduct or lead ISO 9001 audits, as well as professionals building a career in auditing across the city’s manufacturing, automotive, IT and healthcare sectors. A basic understanding of ISO 9001 is helpful but not a formal prerequisite.
Course Formats & Delivery
Training runs over five days and combines tutor-led sessions, workshops, case studies and role-play audits, concluding with a written examination. IAS delivers the course to Chennai delegates in three formats — classroom, live online (virtual instructor-led), and in-house at your premises for groups. Course materials, exercises and the examination are included.
