This is the only IRCA and PQG accredited course of its kind that delivers a tailored auditing course to supply-chain auditors, arming them with the knowledge and skills to audit in a diverse set of industries that supply products and materials to the pharmaceutical industry. Such suppliers often have a technical boundary between their industry standards and GMP; this course helps the auditor manage that boundary to achieve clear conformance assessment, using ISO9001 and PQG pharmaceutical supplier standards as the auditing reference standards.
We are proud to have trained hundreds of auditors from across the world. With a pass rate over 90% (the IRCA average is 76%), our tutors are world-class auditors in their field, who are passionate about transferring their skills to the next generation of auditors.
Our Lead Auditor courses are IRCA accredited, flexible and tailored to industry needs. We offer a wide range of delivery options, including face-to-face (residential), online via instructor-led blended learning or in-house through tailored programmes for the whole team. To maintain the quality and attention one would expect of our training, course attendee numbers are limited to 12.
