What recent auditing delegates have been saying

This was the best professional training I have ever received in my career to date. I encourage leaders to review training options and consider RSSL’s training classes for yourself and your teams.

Lead Supplier Auditor, Pfizer,

100% I'd advocate (this course)! I mean, I've learned so much this week and I think I've improved myself as an auditor because of this course

Quality Manager, IO Biotech ,

It's been an amazing journey from day one itself. We had been put through different scenarios in different situations, in real life we have been in those situations and we have been acting slightly differently prior to this particular experience, but now after learning this particular course I know that I will be acting totally differently!

QA Manager, Lexon (UK) Ltd ,

Its a complete perspective change with regards to audits. I think for me it's been truly eye-opening, and moving forward, it's things that I will take through throughout the rest of my career

QA Manager, RSSL,
