Answers to the most-searched UK questions on Lead Auditor, Internal Auditor and Foundation training.
Lead Auditor courses (typically 5 days, 40 hours) qualify delegates to plan, lead and report third-party certification audits on behalf of a certification body. Internal Auditor courses (2 days, 16 hours) prepare staff to perform first-party audits inside their own organisation against an ISO standard. Lead Auditor courses include a written exam and are recognised by IRCA / Exemplar Global; Internal Auditor courses end with a competency assessment.
UniCert training is delivered by Exemplar Global-registered tutors and aligns with IRCA / CQI learning outcomes for ISO 9001, 14001, 27001 and 45001 Lead Auditor courses. Certificates of attendance and successful examination are issued by UniCert Certification Ltd (UK).

Online/live virtual options start from £950 + VAT. Group bookings of 4+ delegates receive a 15% discount.
An ISO Foundation course is a 1-2 day introduction to the principles, structure (Annex SL) and key requirements of an ISO standard. It is aimed at staff who need awareness of the standard but will not lead audits — typically managers, process owners and new joiners. No prior experience is required.
