Join your in-company ISO 9001 Internal Auditor course

Updated: Jan 6, 2026.

About your course.

SQMC is your organisation's Quality Management training supplier. We look forward to working with you soon, to help you develop your skills as an ISO 9001 Internal Auditor. Here is some information to help you - and your colleagues - get the most out of your training.

Going Digital (No Printed Notes)

We’ve moved our learning materials online. SQMC is now a 95% paper-less organisation — part of our commitment to reducing waste, supporting environmental sustainability, and aligning with ISO 14001.

Why this is better for you:

• You get a digital reference manual and workbook via your secure SQMC learner portal — and it’s always the latest version of our published materials (relevant to the particular issue of the Standard you trained to).

• No heavy folders to carry — and no outdated printed notes floating around the office.

• Materials are searchable, zoomable, and easy to revisit whenever you need them — even on your mobile phone.

What to Bring

To access your digital materials during the course, please bring either a:

• Laptop (preferred), or a

• Tablet (perfectly fine if you don’t have a laptop)

If you don’t have either, just let us know ahead of time and we’ll provide a tablet for you to use during the training.

Other requirements

Did you know that it takes an average of 23 minutes to refocus after interruption or distraction? This is the findings of a University of California Irvine study, and backs up what we've always found at SQMC, as professional trainers. For this reason, we politely request that all participants' mobile devices are switched off when in the training suite.

Attendance at all sessions is a requirement of the course, for full certification. There is no final, formal exam. Instead, you will be assessed during a series of less stressful, practical, and type-written exercises, throughout your training.

Successful candidates will be awarded a digital Certificate of Achievement from the Scottish Quality Management Centre. This will be sent electronically – normally within 14 days after you complete the course – and is easy to print, link to your LinkedIn page, etc. 

Pre-course reading.

There are two reading assignments for you, as preparation for your training. It should take no longer than 20 minutes to read both articles.

Assignment 1: "A Short Overview of Quality" (Foundation level).

Assignment 2: "Quality Management Systems in Focus" (Intermediate level).
