How is the internal auditor course delivered in practice?

The course delivery approach is designed to build internal audit capability and to prepare participants for certification assessment. The educational approach describes three main delivery elements: structured content on theory and best practices, interactive discussion, and quiz-based reinforcement.First, the course provides the theories, best approaches, and practices used to establish an internal audit program and to perform internal audit activities. This sets a consistent foundation on audit principles, ISO 19011 guidance, audit methods, evidence handling, findings, and follow-up.Second, the course emphasizes interaction between trainers and participants through questions and discussions. This format supports practical interpretation: participants can test how audit principles apply to real management system situations, clarify how to frame findings, and compare approaches to preparation and follow-up activities. Interactive discussion also supports auditor behavior and professional conduct topics by exploring how auditors communicate during audits.Third, learning is reinforced through quizzes. The course includes both stand-alone questions and scenario-based quizzes. Scenario questions are particularly useful for audit work because they require selecting a method, identifying appropriate evidence, and reasoning to a conclusion. This aligns well with the internal audit cycle taught in the agenda and supports exam-style decision making.The educational approach also notes that participant numbers are limited to benefit from the practical exercises. In practice, this helps maintain active participation in discussions and makes it easier for trainers to address questions and provide feedback during scenario work.Overall, the delivery approach is structured to move participants from understanding ISO 19011 guidance to applying it through program setup, preparation, execution, reporting, and follow-up decisions that an internal auditor must make.
