ISO 55001 Lead Auditor

The ISO 55001 Lead Auditor training course will equip you with the necessary skills to audit asset management systems (AMS) based on audit principles and practices. It will provide you with the knowledge and expertise required on how to plan and conduct effective AMS audits, evaluating whether the AMS is effectively implemented, maintained, and aligned with the organization’s strategic asset management objectives.

Why should you attend?

Organizations worldwide increasingly seek qualified auditors to evaluate the effectiveness of asset management practices implemented within an ISO 55001-based AMS. This comprehensive course equips you with the knowledge and skills to plan, conduct, and manage audits under ISO 19011 (auditing guidelines for management systems) and ISO/IEC 17021-1 (requirements for certification processes).

Through engaging discussions, hands-on exercises, and interactive learning, you will gain a thorough understanding of AMS auditing practices while strengthening your core auditing competencies.

After completing the course, you will have the opportunity to sit for the certification exam. Successful candidates will be awarded the internationally recognized “PECB Certified ISO 55001 Lead Auditor” credential—demonstrating your expertise in auditing organizations for compliance with ISO 55001 requirements.
