We offer public courses through BSI Management Systems at conveniently
located hotels and universities throughout the United States. We also
offer classes at the Center for Quality Excellence at Southern Polytechnic
State University in Atlanta, Georgia.
Many of the public course offered through BSI Management
Systems were originally developed by Larry Whittington, including the
Implementation, Documentation, and Lead Auditor courses.
On-Site classes
eliminate travel costs and lost productivity by training the students at their
work location. All the students hear the same message and learn how to
meet the specific needs of your company. Training materials can be tailored
to your unique situation. Confidential issues and real examples can be
discussed in the privacy of your own class. Please contact us to

Auditor Update
This 1 day course explains how the process approach of ISO 9001:2000
is also the best way to conduct internal audits. Many organizations
schedule and perform audits based on the ISO 9001:2000 clause structure.
Auditing by clause instead of process defines an artificial scope. And,
the plan-do-check-act structure ISO 9001:2000 means the audit of a single
clause may not fully address the requirement, since the complete requirement
may span multiple clauses.
Note: Successful completion of the Internal Auditor and Lead Auditor
courses satisfy the training requirements of the RABQSA. To become a certified internal auditor or lead auditor requires
additional professional requirements to be met.
