An Integrated Management System (IMS) is the result of combining of your quality management system, environmental management system, safety management system and/or food safety management system.

More and more companies are realising the spared duplicity and other advantages of integrating their management systems into one manual, one system and often, one person coordinating all compliance. Consequently the need for qualified Integrated Lead Auditors is rising.

Our Integrated Management System Lead Auditor Course is delivered across 5 days and provides a comprehensive understanding of ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 before delving into the practical auditing skills required to perform audits against integrated management systems as either part of a team or an audit team leader. It also provides a comprehensive understanding of ISO 19011 Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems.

This course includes modules AU, QM, EM, OH-45001 & TL (IPC). Recognition of prior learning will be awarded for Modules AU & TL if they have been completed within the previous three years.
