How long is the ISO 9001 internal auditor course and in what format?

It is 16 hours, usually in four 4-hour sessions or eight 2-hour virtual micro-sessions. It can be live virtual, on-site at your company, self-paced on the platform, or a combination. The final simulated audit is run live, virtual or on-site, using processes from your own organization.

What about the new version of ISO 9001?

ISO 9001 is under revision and a new edition is expected in 2026. The course is taught on the current version, ISO 9001:2015, which is the one certified today. When the new edition is published we will update the content and explain the changes and whatever transition period is established.

Does it include a DC-3 certificate, and does it serve as evidence of auditor competence?

Yes. Every participant who meets the attendance, assessment and simulated audit requirements receives a DC-3 certificate with the data required by Mexico's STPS. Together with the platform records, it is training evidence you can present to the certification body as part of your internal auditors' competence.

How do we solve questions during our real audits?

Geedle Bot, our artificial-intelligence agent, is trained on the course content and recordings. If an auditor is unsure, for example, how to write a nonconformity against clause 8.5, they ask and the bot answers and takes them to the exact minute and second of the recording where it was explained.
