Background
Internal audits remain a crucial requirement of the AS9120B standard to verify the compliance of an organization’s quality management system to the standard. Internal auditors must be knowledgeable of the AS9120B requirements to effectively perform internal audits.
This internal auditor course is designed for both new auditors and existing internal auditors who need a thorough refresher of how to perform an internal audit to AS9100. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of AS9120B and the tools to effectively prepare and conduct first party audits to AS9120B. Through interactive learning methods, this course engages participants in a detailed review of AS9120B, including key changes related to counterfeit parts, documented information, process approach, and risk-based thinking.
Through individual participation and group exercises, participants will apply and audit the requirements of AS9120B through case study activities that focus on auditing techniques as referenced by ISO 19011:2018 and AS9101F. Upon completion of this training program, participants will leave with the skills necessary to successfully conduct internal audits to AS9120B.
