Learning outcomes
Courses consist of the following:
Content relating to the adoption of Annex SL
Content relating to the specific requirements of ISO 9001:2015.
Courses
are available in two formats:
1. ISO 9001:2015 (Combined) Transition
This course includes both the Annex SL content and the
content specific to ISO 9001 as a combined program over two days.
2. ISO 9001:2015 (Modular) Transition
This course has two separate modules: one for the Annex SL
content and one for the ISO 9001-specific content. Auditors must attend both
modules. However, if you are certificated to both ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, you
do not need to attend the Annex SL module twice.
Some providers offer the two modules as separate courses, for
the benefit of auditors certificated to more than one scheme who do not want to
repeat the Annex SL content (if you prefer, you can still choose to attend the
Annex SL content twice in order to better understand its relevance to both ISO
9001 and ISO 14001)
