Then Choose Your Level: Build It, Run It or Audit It

Most ISO/IEC courses come in three levels. Each one prepares you for a different part of the work.

Foundation: Learn It

Learn the standard, its key terms and how a management system works. Start here if the standard is new to you.

Lead Implementer: Build It and Run It

Choose Lead Implementer if you want to help an organization build its management system and put it into practice. You learn to set the scope, assess risks, choose controls, write policies, and keep the records that show the system is working.

Lead Auditor: Audit It

Choose Lead Auditor if you want to check whether an organization’s management system meets the requirements of the standard. You learn to plan an audit, examine evidence, interview people, and report your findings.

Not sure which fits? If you enjoy designing and organizing how things get done, start with Lead Implementer. If you enjoy checking work against clear requirements, start with Lead Auditor.
