ISO 17100:2015 Translation Services Lead Auditor Course , Master ISO 17100 Audits — From Standard Interpretation to Professional Lead Auditor Practice.
Course Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
The ISO 17100:2015 Translation Services Lead Auditor Certification Course is a comprehensive, audit-focused professional training program designed to develop competent Lead Auditors capable of planning, conducting, reporting, and managing ISO 17100 certification audits for translation service providers (TSPs).
Unlike general awareness courses, this program delivers a clause-by-clause interpretation of ISO 17100 combined with real-world auditing techniques aligned with ISO 19011 auditing principles. Learners gain hands-on knowledge of how certification bodies evaluate translation workflows, resource competence, quality controls, and data security — preparing them for both internal and external audits.
This course bridges the gap between understanding the standard and performing professional audits with confidence.
