Independent ISO audits help your organization see what is working, what is missing, and what needs correction before certification, surveillance, supplier approval, or management review pressure becomes urgent. AGS provides ISO auditing services for organizations that need clear evidence, structured findings, and practical corrective-action direction. Our audits review your management system against the selected ISO standard, audit scope, documents, records, processes, and objective evidence.
Choose the audit based on your current problem. A company preparing for certification needs a different audit from a company checking suppliers or maintaining an existing certificate.
You need continuous audit and system maintenance support
ISO auditing services evaluate whether a management system, process, site, supplier, or certification scope conforms to selected ISO audit criteria.
An ISO audit reviews documents, records, interviews, observations, sampled evidence, and actual implementation. The result is not just a checklist. A proper audit gives your team clear findings, nonconformities where applicable, and corrective-action direction. ISO 19011 provides guidance for auditing management systems, including audit principles, audit programme management, conducting management-system audits, and evaluating auditor competence.
A good audit is structured. It is not a random document check.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Define audit objective and scope | The standard, site, department, process, supplier, or certification objective is confirmed. |
| 2. Prepare the audit plan | Audit dates, responsible people, departments, documents, and audit method are agreed. |
| 3. Review documents and records | Policies, procedures, prior findings, records, and evidence are reviewed. |
| 4. Conduct interviews and site review | Auditors speak with process owners and observe how work is performed. |
| 5. Sample evidence | Representative records, activities, or processes are selected for verification. |
| 6. Report findings | Findings, nonconformities, observations, and improvement areas are documented. |
| 7. Support corrective-action direction | The organization receives direction on what must be corrected, verified, or prepared next. |
Tell us your standard, location, number of participants, language preference, and training objective. AGS will recommend a course path for your team.
AGS uses structured audit techniques to collect evidence and assess conformity. The AGS audit document directly lists checklist, interviews, observation, document review, and sampling as audit techniques.
AGS can support audits across major management system standards and sector-specific frameworks, depending on scope, audit objective, and service route.
No. NEBOSH courses and ISO training courses are related to professional competence, but they are not the same category. NEBOSH states that its qualifications are health, safety, and environmental qualifications delivered through accredited Learning Partners.
The best starting point is an ISO Awareness or Foundation course. It helps you understand the standard, key terms, basic requirements, and your role before moving into internal audit, implementation, or lead auditor training.
Choose Internal Auditor Training or Internal Auditing Techniques for the relevant standard. This course path helps staff plan audits, prepare checklists, collect evidence, report findings, and support corrective action.
Internal Auditor training focuses on audits inside your own organization. Lead Auditor training is more advanced and focuses on leading audits, managing audit teams, reporting audit results, and understanding audit methodology.
Lead Auditor training is audit-focused. Lead Implementer training is implementation-focused. Choose Lead Auditor if you need to audit systems. Choose Lead Implementer if you need to build, improve, or manage the system.
Yes. AGS can provide corporate and industrial ISO training for teams that need shared understanding of a standard, internal audit preparation, implementation support, or certification-readiness training.
Yes. ISO training helps employees understand requirements, improve documentation, prepare for internal audits, reduce nonconformities, and support certification readiness. Training does not replace certification.
No. ISO states that it does not perform certification or issue certificates. ISO develops standards; external certification bodies perform certification.
No. NEBOSH courses belong under health, safety, and environmental qualifications. They can sit beside ISO 45001 and HSE training on the page, but they should not be described as ISO management-system certification courses.
Tell AGS your standard, industry, location, team size, and audit objective. We will help you choose the right training level, delivery format, and course route.
