Lead Auditor Courses

Welcome to the Gladhill Associates International on-line and virtual classroom ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015and ISO 45001:2018 lead auditor courses. Our courses are Exemplar Global certified. 

Due to the latest pandemic news the following is what Exemplar Global sent to their training providers: 

“Virtual Training Is Acceptable as an Alternative to Classroom Training" 

“Given the concern for public health in light of the global COVID-19 pandemic, it is understandable that many training organizations are canceling their public training courses. Many of these training organizations are replacing those public courses with virtual (online) training courses.

Exemplar Global has been asked if those virtual courses are acceptable under the RTP and TPECS training certification schemes. The answer is yes! Under the RTP and TPECS programs, training providers are free to design and deliver their courses as they see fit, so long as they continue to meet the requirements of the program their courses are certified to”.
