IMS TRAINING FAQS
Find answers about integrated audits and the available training paths.
What is an Integrated Management System?
An Integrated Management System brings the processes and requirements of two or more management systems together. On this page, the focus is quality management under ISO 9001, environmental management under ISO 14001, and occupational health and safety management under ISO 45001.
Is IMS a separate ISO standard?
No. IMS describes an approach to managing multiple systems together. ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 remain separate standards with their own requirements.
Which course should I choose for internal audits?
Choose Internal Auditor if you need to plan and conduct internal audits across quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety management systems.
Does the Combined Lead Auditor training include ISO 9001?
No. The Combined Lead Auditor training covers ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. The Integrated Lead Auditor Bundle also includes a separate ISO 9001 Lead Auditor course.
How long is the Integrated Lead Auditor Bundle?
It combines 40 hours of ISO 9001 Lead Auditor training with 48 hours of combined ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 Lead Auditor training, for 88 hours in total.
Does completing IMS training certify my organisation?
No. Training develops individual knowledge and audit skills. Organisational certification is a separate assessment of the organisation's management system.
Can our organisation request training for a team?
Yes. Use the corporate training request option to discuss your team's systems, audit responsibilities, and preferred delivery arrangement.
