Frequently asked questions

What is DIN EN ISO 19011?

DIN EN ISO 19011 is the international guideline for auditing management systems. It defines principles, audit programs, the implementation of audits, and competence requirements for auditors for quality, environmental, and other management systems.

Who is the auditor qualification suitable for?

The qualification is suitable for quality managers, internal auditors, compliance officers, and executives. It is useful for anyone who evaluates or develops management systems or is responsible for auditing.

What skills are taught?

The course covers audit planning, conducting interviews, evaluating evidence, and reporting. The focus is on risk-based thinking, objective evaluation, and standard-compliant documentation.

Is the qualification applicable across different industries?

Yes, the guideline can be applied across all industries. It supports audits in quality, environmental, energy, and occupational health and safety management systems and creates a uniform methodological basis.

What are the requirements?

Basic knowledge of management systems is recommended. Practical experience in quality or process management facilitates the transfer to audit practice, but is not mandatory.

What added value does auditor certification offer?

Certification documents professional competence and auditability. It increases internal credibility, strengthens your position in external audits, and improves career development opportunities.

How does an internal audit differ from an external audit?

Internal audits serve the purpose of self-assessment and process improvement. External audits are conducted by independent bodies, for example for certification or supplier evaluation.

What role does risk-based thinking play in auditing?

Risk-based thinking is a key principle of modern audits. It prioritizes critical processes, assesses the impact of potential deviations, and increases the effectiveness of the management system.
