Internal audits generate the hard evidence regulators expect to see
FAA Part 5 requires organizations with an SMS to regularly evaluate how well their SMS and operational processes are working, compare performance to safety objectives, and correct any identified gaps.
The Internal Auditor Training Program is designed for:
◆ Safety Managers and SMS Managers
◆ Quality and Compliance personnel
◆ Operations and Maintenance leaders
◆ Training and Compliance coordinators
◆ Emerging internal auditors and safety champions
Suitable for aviation organizations of all sizes, from small flight departments to complex multi-base operators and maintenance organizations.
When internal auditors are trained and qualified, your Safety Assurance program becomes more consistent, credible, and regulator-ready.

What you can expect to learn from this training:
Audit Fundamentals
Learn the difference between internal and external audits, system and process audits, and clarify the auditor’s role in confidentiality, impartiality, professionalism, and safety focus.
Plan & Prepare with Purpose
See how to build a risk-based annual internal audit schedule and use gap analysis to compare your documentation to requirements so issues are spotted before you go onsite.
Execute On-site Effectively
Design onsite schedules that minimize disruption while giving access to the right people and records, lead clear opening meetings, conduct structured interviews, and use sampling and risk-based thinking to focus your efforts.
Follow the Records & Reality
Verify training, qualifications, and record retention while cross-checking electronic systems, lockouts, and extensions, and observe real training and operations to confirm that practice matches approved procedures.
Classify, Communicate
& Close the Loop
Learn to classify findings (major, minor, observation, and areas of excellence), run constructive closing meetings, and support strong corrective action plans that feed directly into SMS Safety Assurance and management review.
Grow as a Confident
Internal Auditor
Use each audit as a learning opportunity, supported by mentorship, ongoing training, and staying current on regulatory changes—building the confidence to lead internal audits independently.
