Conduct audits confidently and professionally

The practical training for auditors

This training is held in German.
For successful audits, both internal and external, you need a solid foundation of methodology, systematics and communication skills. Normative principles support you in your systematic audit approach. At the same time, communication between those carrying out the audit and those involved plays an important role. In this training course, you will consolidate precisely these two aspects in a practice-oriented manner for a strong foundation as an auditor! Interactively and with personal practical relevance, you will acquire helpful methods and specialist knowledge for planning, conducting and reporting audits and will also be equipped for difficult discussion situations.
