Internal auditing of Laboratory Management Systems: ISO 17025:2017 (based on ISO 19011:2018)
More information about this workshop
Workshop Overview
Audits don’t have to be scary—they can actually add real value to your laboratory! This workshop equips you with the skills to perform internal audits confidently, accurately, and positively.
We cover the essentials of laboratory management systems, internal auditing principles, and practical techniques that make the process smooth and effective. Beyond the technical side—audit criteria, evidence, and reporting—you’ll also explore auditor behaviour, personal skills, and traits that make audits a positive experience for both auditors and auditees.
Learning is made fun & practical
At Progress Excellence, we do training a little differently. Whether it’s food safety, quality, health and safety, environmental, or laboratory systems – we make sure it’s practical, relevant, and easy to put into action.
We use real, sector-specific examples so the content actually makes sense in your world. Our sessions are interactive and hands-on, with activities that help turn theory into something you can apply straight away.
Plus, we share ready-to-use templates and implementation plans to make your job easier. Our goal? To give you the skills and confidence to not just understand the requirements, but to actually apply them and improve your systems in a meaningful way.
