This e-Learning course is for individuals who need to conduct effective remote audits (aka virtual audits) of quality management systems (QMS).

Remote audits are applicable to –

  • an organization’s own QMS

  • a ‘sister’ company’s QMS

  • a supplier’s QMS

TEC have packaged everything needed into this practical e-Learning course to ensure that participants will feel confident to plan, prepare, perform and report the results of remote audits based on AS9100, IATF 16949, IRIS or ISO 9001 using a ‘process-based approach’ – in the same way as the Certification Bodies.

checklists and templates included

Particular attention is given to the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to optimize effectiveness and efficiency, and Confidentiality, Security and Data Protection (CSDP) considerations involving legislation and regulations which may require additional agreements from both sides.

A combination of quizzes, tests and personal assignments are used to ensure understanding of the principles and practices associated with remote audits.

a downloadable (pdf) Delegate Workbook is included

Other sources of information/guidance provided by the IAF (International Accreditation Forum) and the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) are referenced.
