ISO/IEC 20000 Lead Auditor Training

Course Description

ISO/IEC 20000 Lead Auditor Training develops practical capability to lead audits of an ISO/IEC 20000 service management system using process evidence, service outcomes, findings, and follow-up. The learning path begins with sms requirements, audit principles, programme, scope, criteria, and risk and planning, document review, sampling, interviews, evidence, and trails, connecting PECB and ISO requirements with governance, evidence, stakeholder decisions, and measurable acceptance.

Applied work is framed around an IT service provider coordinating customers, service teams, suppliers, cloud platforms, incidents, changes, assets, and service commitments. Learners then progress through service portfolio, relationships, resolution, control, and findings and reporting, closing, corrective action, follow-up, and certification, producing service-management audit programme, SMS audit working-paper set, service-practice evidence and finding matrix, and ISO 20000 audit report and follow-up.

By completion, participants can interpret applicable requirements, perform implementation, audit, assessment, or foundation activities, evaluate evidence, communicate supported conclusions, and hand over clear improvement actions with ownership and follow-up.
