What is IATF 16949 Training?
IATF 16949 Internal Auditor Training is an internal-audit course for the automotive sector's quality management systems. It helps individuals learn how to start an audit, develop and conduct audit activities, organise and distribute audit reports, and complete follow-up activities in agreement with the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) requirements — so they can conduct internal (first-party) audits within their own organisation and help prepare it for external certification. The course is delivered through EAS, IAS's sister organisation, and leads to a course-completion certificate.
