This 2-day course explains the approach to internal audit required by AS9100D.

AS9100D is a global quality management system standard which is implemented extensively within the aerospace and defence industries. Internal quality audits are a key requirement of this standard.

The content is delivered through a series of presentation materials, combined with participant activities; where possible, a live audit is incorporated within the course.

The key objectives are to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to enable them to carry out effective, and value-adding quality management audits within their organisation. The aim is that by the end of the course, a participant will:

• Understand the structure of management systems
• Understand the risk-based approach to management systems
• Understand the link with ISO 9001:2015
• Be aware of the key requirements of ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D
• Be aware of Customer Specific Requirements
• Have the ability to analyse a process, and explore the process linkages
• Be able to evaluate the effectiveness of a process
• Have the ability to prepare for, carry out, report on, and close-out, quality audits.

Multidisciplinary: Personnel from all functions, who will undertake internal audits within the scope of the AS9100D quality system.
