First- and Second-Party Auditor – Automotive Quality Management System (IATF 16949:2016)

The course "First- and Second-Party Auditor – Automotive Quality Management System (IATF 16949:2016)" is designed for professionals seeking in-depth knowledge in auditing quality management systems within the automotive industry. The curriculum centers on applying the IATF 16949:2016 standard, coupled with the foundational elements of ISO 9001:2015 and the auditing guidelines of ISO 19011:2018. Participants will acquire skills to perform first-party (internal) and second-party (customer-to-supplier) audits, emphasizing supplier evaluation, evidence management, findings, corrective actions (CAPA), and follow-up. Realistic cases and sector-specific scenarios—such as calibration control, measurement software, PFMEA/DFMEA, and action control—are utilized to illustrate effective auditing approaches. Upon completion, auditors will be proficient in conducting thorough audits that support compliance with IATF requirements and drive continuous improvement in automotive quality processes.
