Reduce Time Away from Work/Home
For many people, one of the toughest things about training is the time spent away from work or home – with Comply Guru™’s course, we can reduce the time lost away through online training that is completed prior to the classroom portion!
This blended lead auditor course will cut down the classroom time by 50% or 2.5 days which is a HUGE reduction compared to traditional classroom training. Boom!
Lower Costs & Expenses
With blended training, the overall cost of the training is much lower. As well as less downtime from work or precious time away from home/family, blended training involves less travel & lower lodging costs! Zing!
Increased Learning Effectiveness
Comply Guru™ believe that by introducing online training modules to be completed in advance, it enables each Learner to be better prepared in advance of the classroom portion of the training. As a result, it enables a more learning effective & focused classroom session – a better overall learning experience! Yay!

What is Virtual Classroom Training?
This means that for the “classroom” portion of the training, we can offer virtual training as an option for those that prefer to complete their training via a virtual classroom with a Live Instructor.
Virtual training is an alternative format to complete your training – but it will remain highly interactive & collaborative – the same as it would in a traditional classroom environment.
The virtual classroom format will involve shorter “live” sessions with an Instructor on the training days – including regular breaks & interactive assignments (individual & team-based work) for an enjoyable & engaging learning experience.
Is the course still certified?
Yes, the course is still certified and all Learners who successfully complete the full program will receive a CQI & IRCA Certificate of Achievement.
What about the CQI & IRCA Written Examination?
We are able to offer a new eAssessment option for the lead auditor examinations, which can be completed Remotely or In-Person. Each Learner must obtain 70% or higher in a 2-hour CQI & IRCA eAssessment which is completed securely online (under strict examination conditions).
What do you need to participate?
To participate in the virtual training sessions, you will need:
- Laptop or desktop computer (Note: A tablet or mobile device is not suitable for this training)

How will Comply Guru help you prepare in advance?
1 week in advance of every training course, we will be hosting an on-boarding & familiarisation virtual training session with all Participants.

For any Participant that is experiencing any issues, these can be identified & support will be available both before and during any virtual training course.
