This programme is available In-House and currently delivered through virtual classroom training.

Internal auditing is fundamental to any quality improvement initiative. In particular, the FDA cGMP’s for Pharmaceutical Products require that an organisation conduct internal quality audit to determine the effectiveness of its quality system. EU GMP requirements expect that companies conduct self-inspections. Trained auditors must carry out these audits.

Thousands of internal audits are performed each year providing little internal business benefit. This course focuses on auditing company quality systems for real quality improvement rather than just compliance.

This two day course provides detailed training in developing the skills necessary to be an effective internal auditor.
