Posted By Nigel Can anyone recommend a suitable safety auditors course that I can send a collegue (who is studying for the dipmloa so knows the theory of management sytems) on. Basically what we are after is more the "how to audit" and not why you need a management system as we are establishing one at the moment, hence the need for "trained" auditors. I have experience of ROSPA's QSA and a BSI course neither of which are really what I am looking for. I have read the IOSH CPD courses booklet and have seen the course in it, would anybody who has been on it like to give me an idea if this is the type of course I am looking for.

Posted By Stuart Nagle Try 'Bywaters' in Reading. They have a general auditing course, entitled 'Internal Quality System Auditing'. This is designed to provide knowledge of how to audit and define what needs to be audited, rather than teaching you to such eggs on the subject of the audit matter. Not a bad course. Stuart Nagle
