The classroom portion of the course delivered virtually via Zoom worked well the tutor had an in-depth knowledge of the auditing process and was able to give real life examples from her own auditing experience. Feedback on the assessments was constructive and useful the additional class giving an overview of the individual clauses of ISO13485 prior to the classroom day was beneficial.

    Stephen Byrne | July 24, 2020

  • I was very impressed by the well-organised and structured course. It is divided into a self-managed and a classroom training session that provides you with a good understanding of the ISO 134852016 and good knowledge on how to prepare and conduct an Internal Audits. The one day course via Zoom was in a group based environment with a very competent tutor. The assessments provide a good feeling of how an internal audit as an Auditor would look like. All in all an extremely good experience and I am looking forward to do more courses with Comply Guru.

  • Internet connection – Minimum of 1.0Mbps

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.

This advance session will recap on the key learning outcomes from the online modules completed & ensure every Participant is comfortable and familiar with the software and tools that we will use during the virtual training.

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