WRAP is pleased to offer you a five day Auditor/Lead Auditor Social Systems Training Course.

IRCA training course reference A17329 Social systems auditor / Lead auditor

Who Should Attend?
This course satisfies the training requirements for those who wish to register as a lead auditor with IRCA (International Register of Certification Auditors). It is also essential for any serious social systems practitioner, particularly those with a responsibility to design, implement and manage a social compliance management system. Other people who have found this course useful in the past have been internal social systems auditors who have been looking to enhance their auditing knowledge and skills, and those looking to achieve formal recognition for the skills and knowledge that they possess.

Course Objectives
To enable those attending to lead an audit team whose objective it is to audit the social compliance management system of an organisation against the requirements of WRAP, ILO conventions and laws of the land. The course will also equip delegates with a sound knowledge of the requirements of ISO 19011:2002 guidelines for management systems auditing.

Certification
Delegates successfully completing the course, including examination, will be awarded an IRCA registered certificate.

Style of Delivery and Course Tutors
Our course Tutors are full time WRAP employed social systems professionals, as well as being qualified, registered and experienced auditors who always talk from experience and not just theory. They have extensive knowledge across a wide range of sectors including manufacturing, processing and service industries complemented by knowledge of local and national laws. They have all cut their teeth as successful change agents within high profile organisations, and fully understand the range of technical, legislative and people challenges that face those with a responsibility for delivering real social improvements.

The course is extremely dependent on participation. The nature of the course material and role-play situations provides an ideal opportunity for delegates to discuss and exchange views and opinions on the subject of social compliance auditing. Since social compliance auditing relies heavily on objective auditor judgment, these types of exercises will assist the delegate in acquiring a more in-depth understanding of social compliance auditing and industry/culture related issues.

Participants are encouraged to actively engage in the discussions and team exercises in order to receive maximum benefit from the course. This provides a good foundation on which to further develop ethical auditing skills.

Courses are offered as open courses at a central venue. Alternatively, we offer in-house, company-specific courses which can be tailored to meet your specific needs. All courses are available on a global basis.

What Are The Benefits?
The course is designed not only to help people perform capable and value-adding social compliance audits, but also to develop delegates’ wider understanding of management systems design and implementation. In particular it will help delegates get to grips with those issues of ever-increasing importance, such as customer satisfaction, continual improvement and the management of processes. It will help delegates understand how these critical issues can be embedded into the social compliance management system of an organisation.
