Developed exclusively by Mireaux Management Solutions, this comprehensive course combines API Q1 10th Edition implementation requirements with internationally recognized internal auditing practices to prepare participants to perform effective internal audits of API Q1 quality management systems.

Successful auditors must understand more than auditing techniques. They must also understand the requirements they are auditing. For this reason, the course provides a detailed review of API Q1 requirements while teaching participants how to plan, conduct, report, and follow up on internal audits that add value to the organization.

Participants will learn how to evaluate conformity, assess process effectiveness, identify risks and opportunities, gather objective evidence, and communicate audit results in a clear and professional manner. The course also addresses auditor responsibilities, audit planning, audit execution, interviewing techniques, nonconformity writing, corrective action verification, and audit follow-up activities.

The API Q1 portion of the course includes a clause-by-clause review of the standard using Mireaux’s practical methodology:

1. What the standard requires
2. How organizations typically implement the requirement
3. How auditors can evaluate effectiveness and conformity

Throughout the course, participants will complete practical exercises, workshops, and case studies designed to simulate real audit situations. These activities help reinforce auditing concepts while building confidence in applying them within actual API Q1 environments.

Whether your organization is preparing for API certification, strengthening its internal audit program, or developing new auditors, this course provides the knowledge, tools, and practical experience needed to perform effective audits and support continual improvement.
