There are no mandatory prerequisites for attending this course. Participants will benefit from prior exposure to corporate compliance, risk management, legal affairs, internal auditing, or management systems. Basic familiarity with ISO 37301 standards and standard auditing principles is recommended for those seeking to lead formal audits.

Each day consists of structured instruction spanning approximately four to five hours, including interactive discussions and exercises. The complete five-day programme delivers between 20 and 25 hours of instructional engagement.

What is the difference between understanding ISO 37301 and being able to audit a Compliance Management System?

Understanding ISO 37301 focuses on interpreting standard requirements and understanding how a compliance management system operates within an organization. Auditing requires the practical capability to define audit scope, sample evidence, interview stakeholders objectively, substantiate findings against criteria, identify systemic nonconformities, and oversee audit programmes across the audit lifecycle.
