AVAILABLE VIA LIVE STREAM

The API Q1 Internal Auditor training course is a 3-day course, encompassing the following:

  • 2-days detail overview of API Q1 requirements
  • 1-day Internal Auditing Techniques

The course is essentially two days of hands-on training on the API Q1 9th Edition Addendum 2 Specification for Quality Management System Requirements for Manufacturing Organizations for the Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries, plus one day of training in auditing techniques.

This course has been designed by Mireaux Management Solutions based on years of experience implementing API Q1 Quality Management Systems, auditing Quality Management Systems, and training on API Q1.  This course focuses on three areas:

  • Background and application of API Q1 9th Edition Addendum 2.
  • In depth overview of each clause of the API Q1 9th Edition Addendum 2 Specification for Quality Management System Requirements for Manufacturing Organizations for the Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries, explaining what the specification says, what the specification means, how to implement the specification in the real world, and how to audit it.
  • The fundamental requirements to create an Internal Audit Program and conduct Internal Audits in accordance with ISO 19011:2018, “Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems”.

Role-playing audit scenarios helps develop a hands-on understanding that will facilitate the implementation of a good Quality Management System and Internal Audit program.
