About This Course
The ISO 39001 Lead Auditor programme prepares you to audit a road traffic safety (RTS) management system against ISO 39001. Delivered fully self-paced and online, it takes you from RTS MS fundamentals to planning and leading a complete audit using the principles of ISO 19011 and ISO/IEC 17021-1.
ISO 39001 is the international standard for road traffic safety management, aimed at reducing death and serious injury on the roads. You’ll learn to gather and weigh evidence, grade nonconformities and report findings that drive improvement — the skills a lead auditor needs for first-, second- and third-party audits.
