Lead Auditor Training in an Aviation Environment

This course aims to prepare aviation auditors for the next step in their career: being a lead auditor and leading multi disciplinary teams and external audits.

This course aims to provide auditors with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to succesfully organise and lead (multi disciplinary) audit teams in audits of internal procedures and processes, but especially in audits of suppliers and other external parties. This will ensure that contracts, SLA’s, regulations and other standards are met.

The initial auditing techiques course focuses on how to audit, how to interview, how to write findings, and how to close findings. This course goes one step further and not only helps the auditor to refine the skills of the previous course but also provide participants with the skills to organise and manage these (internal but especially external) audits and audit teams to reach a succesful outcome.

Upon completion of this course you will be able to:

• Develop Audit plans utilising a Risk-based audit strategy.
• Make a strategy for and manage auditing suppliers.
• Audit new suppliers.
• Risk assess audit findings connected to the new suppliers
• Conduct opening meetings, closing meetings, team meetings.
• Lead a multi disciplinairy audit team.
• Know tools and techniques for root cause analysis.
