Internal auditor training
Price range: £78.00 through £156.00 (plus VAT)
We gained three confident internal auditors!
The tailored, smaller units made the course much more accessible for our trainees. They did not feel daunted, which would have been my concern with a traditional classroom course.

The perfect internal auditor training solution
Our internal auditor training courses are designed specifically for the food industry, giving your team the skills and knowledge they need to carry out effective internal audits, GMP inspections and manage your internal audit programme.
Rather than putting everyone through the same generic internal auditing course, you can choose the training that matches the responsibilities of each member of your team.
Whether someone needs to carry out GMP inspections, complete system audits, do both, or manage the entire internal audit programme and non-conformance action system, there’s a course designed specifically for their role.
Internal auditing should be one of the most valuable activities within your business. When it’s done well, it helps you identify problems before they become complaints, product waste or external audit non-conformances.
But that only happens when the people carrying out and managing your audits are properly trained.
Our courses are practical, straightforward and focused on giving people the knowledge they actually need to do their job effectively.

Designed for internal auditors who need to carry out system audits but don’t need to complete GMP inspections. Learners develop the skills needed to assess systems effectively and identify both conformance and non-conformance. This option is particularly suitable for businesses, such as those certified to an Agents and Brokers standard, where GMP inspections may not form part of the internal audit programme.

Designed for those responsible for developing, implementing, managing and monitoring the internal audit programme and non-conformance action system. The course covers internal audit risk assessment, audit frequency, developing competent auditors and inspectors, managing non-conformances, root cause analysis, corrective and preventive actions, verification and continuous improvement.
Corrective and Preventive Action Training
Designed for staff who are accountable for managing corrective and preventive actions within the business. This comprehensive course covers the complete non-conformance action process, from understanding improvement and identifying non-conformance through to root cause analysis, defining corrective and preventive actions and verifying that those actions have been effective.

A very informative course, nicely broken down in sections for better understanding.
The extra print outs were great as you can always have them to hand for a re-fresh look. Would recommend for colleagues in the future.

This was a very well put together course. The Audit practice was an excellent way of identifying the thought processes required to do an audit.
Donna –
Our learner thought the course was good, and that it was very in depth and covered a lot. She also said that she thoroughly enjoyed it and could relate to it. She did mention that she felt a bit pushed for time to complete it all in the one day.
Mel Allen –
Hi Donna, thank you for providing feedback from your learner. Our specification for this course does state that the course duration is 1 day – however, I’m sorry that you were not aware that our elearning courses can be stopped and started until they are complete, and that there’s no time limit to complete them. We will improve and highlight this in our communication to new users from now on.
Rahul –
The material was easy to grasp. Sections of the training required you to carry out internal auditing in your environment which was help to teach us in what to look out for. This training has undoubtedly enhanced my auditing skills, and I highly recommend it to fellow internal auditors seeking targeted and impactful BRC audit training
Helen Chadwick –
I found that having access to the lesson guides along side the video tuition very helpful. As it gave me time to go back over the content until it sunk in.
The booklet going through the audit conformance and non conformance with all the documents was a great exercise.
At first I found the course quite repetitive, but then was thankful for it when it came to the end quiz.
Mel Allen –
Thanks Helen, the practical auditing part of this course which is part of your assessment, we think is a really great way to confirm what we’ve taught. It’s okay to understand the course content, but you do need to be able to apply it – so our course aims to ensure this.

The tailored, smaller units made the course much more accessible for our trainees. They did not feel daunted, which would have been my concern with a traditional classroom course.
We gained three confident internal auditors!
C. Pulella –
This was a good course, I found it easy to follow and understand. Lots of helpful insights into auditing and I especially found the suggestion of more collaboration with staff being audited useful. The only point I’d have liked was inclusion of detail in actual audit compliance with BRC. such as how to validate/ verify using audit details.
Kassy Marsh –
Thanks for your review, that’s great to hear you found the course useful. We do have a different course, that’s designed for those who will manage the audit programme – which covers how to create a procedure and comply with the requirements. The course is called ‘Managing the internal audit programme and non-conformance action system‘
Rebecca Thompson – Quality Control –
I just want to say how good the elearning book is and how accessible all the information is!
Jay Brown – New World Foods (Remote group training session) –
All of the course was very helpful and I enjoyed finding all the bad things that were in the factory in the training about GMP inspections, I felt that this was a good example on what to look for. The course was all good but I found auditing the mistakes on the documentation examples was something I needed to improve on. Its a good course and I don’t think anything needs to be improved. I learnt alot of things I didn’t know. The course met my expectations and objectives and I found the standard of tutoring, lesson guide, expertise of the tutor, course presentation slides and course exercises and games to be very good.
Simon Worsley – New World Foods (Remote group training session) –
The course met my expectations and objectives. I particularly found the GMP, audits and senior management sections helpful and enjoyable. I would have liked the senior management section to be longer as there wasn’t enough time to take it all in. The tutoring, lesson guide, expertise of the tutor and course presentation slides were all very good and the course exercises and games were excellent.
James Baeza – New World Foods (Remote group training session) –
I felt that the trainer was easy to work with and explained everything well. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone. If I had to say what could improve the course, I couldn’t say as it all seemed well done to me. All of the course was helpful and enjoyable and this was new to me so it opened up my eyes to things I wouldn’t have seen before. The course met my expectations and objectives and I thought all aspects of the tutoring, materials, expertise and presentation were all very good.
D Purvis – New World Foods –
I thought the expertise of the tutor was excellent. The standard of tutoring and lesson guide were very good. Course presentation slides and exercises and games were good too. The course did meet my expectations and objectives and I found that the entire course was helpful and enjoyable. In terms of what could possibly be improved, I don’t feel qualified to give an opinion other than it seemed to be well presented and tutored. Overall I enjoyed the course.

The course exercises and games were excellent. The standard of tutoring, lesson guide, expertise of tutor and course presentation slides were also very good. The course did meet my expectations and objectives. I particularly found the practice in GMP inspection helpful and enjoyable. I found the topic of auditing senior management committment overwhelming so I would have liked this to be improved if possible. Overall I enjoyed the time I spent on the course.
Carl Fitch – New World Foods (Remote group training session) –
I thought the standard of tutoring, lesson guide, expertise, presentation and exercises and games were all excellent. The course met my expectations and objectives. I particularly found the section on root cause analysis very helpful. The course content is excellent and diificult to say how it could be improved. Personally I would have liked more time on the report writing section. The course was very good even though it had to be completed online/virtually. The trainer was great and the whole team warmed to her. Great course – thank you.
Max Gregory – New World Foods (Remote group training session) –
I thought that the course was very well delivered and that I learnt alot. I felt very well involved with the group and particularly enjoyed the group work. Due to coronavirus, I know it was not possible for the trainer to be there in person which would have improved the course but overall I thought the course was well delivered with good material and content. I thought the standard of tutoring, lesson guide, expertise of the tutor and course exercises were all very good. The course presentation and slides were excellent.
