Many people enroll in ISO Auditor Training worldwide.
With CoVid 19 here, classroom courses have disappeared and have been replaced by the
video conferencing era.
Of important note is that the majority of people who become an ISO Lead Auditor never
embark on the course of becoming a full time auditor. There are a number of reasons for this;
Firstly, being a good auditor requires practise, perserverance and constant application. ISO auditing cannot be a part time job unless the auditor is a retiree. Even then, the auditor needs to keep current in his/her qualifications.
Secondly, when you are a highly qualified ISO auditor you are typically in high demand and hence very busy.
What this means is that you will have a very rigid schedule of audits which can quite often be back to back
or week to week. A typical audit can last anywhere from 1 to 5 days depending on the requirements.
This means that a typical auditor will always be traveling and living in a hotel and eating at restaurants
all the time. Now for some people this sounds like a lot of fun but I can assure you it's not for the faint of heart.
Traveling for work is totally different than traveling while on vacation. If you travel for a long time, it makes
for a lonely existence. Most people typically don't fare well over a long term "living out of a suitcase".
Thirdly, ISO auditing is hard work. If you take it seriously it's mentally tiring. Auditing an organization is serious business.
The reputation of the Certifying body is in jeopardy if the ISO auditor is not competent. Moreover the livelihood of an organization
is at stake if an auditor does not excercise good common sense or discretion while auditing. This is because some companies are required to have ISO 9001:2015 certification in good standing in order to continue doing business with their customers. This not only means current
business but future business. Many customers do not allow a company to bid on new business if they're not ISO 9001:2015 certified.

Having your organization audited can be daunting, stressful and a generally anxious event. Whether this is your first audit or you've been part of many audits before, it's still not something which generates excitement.(At least not the kind we look forward too) Here's some helpful tips to help you negotiate your next audit. Firstly, there's no guarantee of a flawless audit where the ISO auditor finds no non-conformances. It's not uncommon that he/she will find at least one or more minor non-conformances or one or more major non-conformances. In fact it's typically normal that an organization has non-conformances after an audit. Preparation is key: The more prepared you are the better. An internal pre-audit should be performed many weeks before the audit date. This can be done with your own staff or you can contact a third party certification group such as ISO Certification Consultants Inc . In any case, its advisable to assess your readiness by honestly answe...
