Questions

Training FAQ

What does CQI/IRCA Approved Training Partner mean?

AEC is approved by the Chartered Quality Institute's International Register of Certificated Auditors to deliver CQI/IRCA certified courses. Our Lead Auditor courses for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 45001 are CQI/IRCA certified.

Which course should I take first?

If you are new to a standard, start with Awareness or Implementer. Internal Auditor suits people who will audit your own system. Lead Auditor suits auditors and senior practitioners who already know the standard.

Do you offer group or in-house pricing?

Yes. Groups of five or more from one organisation receive 10% off public course prices, and in-house courses are quoted for your team.

How do I verify a training certificate?

Every AEC training certificate can be checked on our certificate verification page using the certificate number.
