Testimonials

Kimberly Cummings

Canada

“It was a very good experience. I was skeptical when I adopted the ISO 29001 (QMS) Lead Implementer course with Learnfly Academy. But to my amazement, every commitment which they made at the time of joining was fulfilled appropriately. This is what made me appreciate their services. Totally worth the price.”

The trainer’s experience was reflected through his training methods. The interactive tools that he applied to his teachings and the amiable services that I receive are worth a positive feedback.”

What is the difference between the Lead Implementer and Lead Auditor courses?

If you are a practitioner focused on helping the organization implement an effective management system, then the Lead Implementer is the right course for you.

Lead Implementer courses enable participants to develop skills and support organizations in implementing and managing a management system based on ISO Standards.

Our Lead Implementer courses are consistent with the good practices of project management established in ISO 10006 (Quality Management Systems – Guidelines for Quality Management in Projects) and Integrated Implementation Methodology for Management Systems and Standards (IMS2) a methodology developed by PECB.

If your career consists of auditing practices and you want to assist your organization in further improvements, then the Lead Auditor course is the right option.

Lead Auditor courses enable participants to develop the skills needed for auditing a management system and manage a team of auditors by applying widely recognized audit principle, procedures, and techniques. Based on practical exercises, the participant will develop the abilities (mastering audit techniques) and skills (managing audit teams and audit program, communicating with customers, conflict resolution, etc.,) necessary to the efficient conduct of an audit.

Our Lead Auditor training courses included Accepted Audit Methodology for Management Systems and Standards (AMS2), a methodology developed by PECB.
