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.

  • 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.
