Internal audits (a requirement of the AS9100 Rev D Standard) are intended to verify the compliance and effectiveness of the organization's quality management system.  Internal auditors must be knowledgeable of these requirements and the expectations as identified in the standard.  In addition, the audit requirements outlined in the AS9101 Standard have significantly changed the way auditors are expected to conduct audits in the aviation, space and defense industries. 

This three-day internal auditor training program is designed to provide potential and existing internal auditors with the knowledge necessary to understand and successfully audit an organization against AS9100 Rev. D: Quality Management Systems - Requirements for Aviation, Space and Defense Organizations. Additionally, attendees will participate in a detailed examination of the requirements of AS9101 Rev E: Quality Management Systems Audit Requirements for Aviation, Space, and Defense Organizations. An overview of the Standards will also be provided to identify the effect this standard has on the way internal audits should be conducted.  Case studies and classroom exercises will be presented in this class to provide participants the comprehensive knowledge and practical skills necessary to be an effective internal auditor.
