About your course
We look forward to welcoming you at our training suite within the Atholl Hotel, King's Gate, Aberdeen, when you develop your skills as an ISO 9001 Internal Auditor.
This is a two-day programme, each day beginning at 9.00 am, and closing at 5.00 pm. There are two 15-minute refreshment breaks (mid-morning and mid-afternoon), and at 12:30, a 45-minute lunch break.
For the benefit of all participants, all mobile devices must be switched off when in the training suite. Free Wi-Fi is available during break times.
Please note that attendance at all sessions is a requirement of the course. There is no final, formal exam. Instead, you will be assessed during a series of relatively stress-free, practical, and written exercises throughout the course.
Successful participants will be awarded with a certificate of completion issued by the Scottish Quality Management Centre. This will be posted to the correspondence address given at the time of booking – normally within 14 days of completion. If you’d like to order a duplicate certificate for your own personal files, you can still purchase one, for £15 + vat.

Dining
We provide a two-course sit-down lunch in the restaurant, and you may be asked to place your order from the menu at the morning break, to avoid a wait at lunchtime. It’s your ‘main meal’ of the day, so if you’re staying overnight, you won’t have to splash out at dinnertime!
If you have any food allergies, we probably already know about this. If you’d like to make sure, please call our training department as soon as possible on 0333 939 0045.
