Axeon is certified by Probitas Authentication and is an IAQG recognized Training Provider.  This course is certified by the IAQG, and successful completion of this course satisfies the Aerospace Auditor Transition Training requirement for AS9100 Aerospace Auditor authentication.

The IAQG-sanctioned 9100:2016 AATT has been mandated by the IAQG to satisfy the Foundation Course training requirement for 9100:2016 AQMS auditor authentication.  The 9100 Online Component includes the ISO 9001:2015 Pre-Assessment, Foundations: Understanding AS9100 Online Training, 9100:2016 Forms and Audit Reporting Training, and Trial Assessment Scenario 1 and 2. The four-day instructor-led portion of the AATT training focuses on applying the 9100:2016 requirements in audit situations using 9101:2022 forms and in consideration of 9101:2022 requirements. The fourth day of the instructor-led course is reserved for the final examination. Refer to the “Program Overview” section below for more information.

NOTE: This item includes the 9100 Online Component and the 9100 Instructor-Led Training. You will be contacted by an Axeon representative to finalize registration.

 

Program Overview

There are both optional and required modules and classes to complete the AATT program.

Required online modules must be completed before attending the instructor-led training. The online modules identified as optional are highly recommended, but not required. In the case of Trial Assessment Scenario 2, participants are encouraged to wait until the instructor-led training portion of the AATT (day 3) is completed before attempting this module.

AATT Prep Class (Optional)

The national pass rate for the AATT class is only about 30%. At Axeon, our pass rate is about 70%.

This one-day preparatory class is a game changer. It will prepare you for the AATT class, greatly increasing the amount you learn during the AATT and help you to pass the tests.

It is much more than simply a refresher of the AS9100 and AS9101. All students, no matter what their experience will benefit from this class and will have a much higher likelihood of passing the AATT.

ISO 9001:2015 Pre-Assessment (Required)

Evaluation to assess the trainees’ knowledge of specific changes in the ISO 9001:2015 standard. You are required to achieve an overall score of 80% to pass this assessment. This assessment is divided into two sections:
  • Knowledge Questions (50 questions)
  • Short Scenario Questions (6 scenarios, 12 questions)

Foundations: Understanding 9100 Online Training (Required)

This is a prerequisite to attend the Aerospace Auditor Transition Training (AATT) and will help you develop the following competencies:
  • Understanding the relationship of standards published under the IAQG umbrella.
  • Understanding the hierarchy of authority’s requirements and applicable advisory material, where to obtain additional information, and how to incorporate authority’s requirements into the AQMS audit activities.
  • Describing the IAQG 9104/sector scheme requirements for AQMS certification/registration programs
  • Describing the auditor approval requirements (as defined in 9104-3:2007)
  • Locating the OASIS database and describing its function
  • Explaining the intent and requirement of each clause/subclause of 9100:2016
  • Identifying the audit evidence required to demonstrate conformity to 9100:2016 requirements
  • Describing the documentation required by 9100:2016

9100 Forms and Audit Reporting Training (Required)

The purpose of this training is to address the requirements of 9100:2016, in the context of a third-party audit, considering the use of 9101:2022 forms and the conformity with 9101:2022 requirements.

Trial Assessment Scenario 1 and 2 & Review (Optional)

Each Trial Assessment scenario consists of a single 20-minute scenario with three question screens. The scenario asks you to evaluate audit evidence and make decisions based on your understanding of 9101:2022 and your ability to use the 9101:2022 forms. Once you complete the scenario, you will be taken to the Trial Assessment Scenario Review module, where the correct answers will be explained along with the rationale.

Requirements for Successful Completion

Successful completion of the 9100 AATT requires that you achieve a passing score on both the Knowledge and Application Examinations.

Knowledge Examination

The 9100/9101 Knowledge Examination is 1.5 hours in length and has sixty multiple-choice questions. Failure to achieve this score will require a full knowledge retake on the online platform. This retake must be completed in a proctored environment.

Failure to achieve the required score on the Knowledge Examination will require a full knowledge retake.

Application Examination

Your score for the application section is the combined result of your online application exam (2 hours), interview, and the continuous evaluation during the training class (which includes written reports and oral communication of conclusions regarding the case study material). If the auditor score is:

  • Equal or Greater than 80%: Auditor passes.
  • Between 60% and 79%: Auditor needs to apply to the 9100 Application Retake.
  • Below 60%: Auditor needs to re-attempt the full 9100 AATT. A full re-attempt requires that the auditor re-purchase and complete the 9100 Online Component and attend a new four-day 9100 AATT Instructor-Led Session offered by any approved AATT Training Provider.

The online application retake is 2 hours in length and follows the same structure of the final application examination on the 4th day of the training. This retake must be completed in a proctored environment. If the score is lower than 80%, another retake can be done, up to a maximum of two times. Two failures on the application retake will require applying to the entire four-day training again.

Certificates

Those who pass will receive a certificate of successful completion that satisfies the Foundations training course requirement for AA/AEA authentication through an approved AAB.

 Certified by Exemplar Global

Days: 3 • CEU Hours: 2.4

Overview

Medical device companies face growing pressure to comply with multiple regulatory systems across different countries. The Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) streamlines this process by allowing one audit to satisfy the requirements of participating markets, including the U.S., Canada, Japan, Brazil, and Australia. But to fully benefit from MDSAP, organizations need qualified internal auditors who can apply the model effectively and drive meaningful quality improvements. That’s where this training comes in.

This training course is certified by Exemplar Global and gives you the tools and skills to audit Quality Management Systems in alignment with MDSAP and ISO 13485. Taught live-online over three days, this interactive course is designed for professionals at all experience levels.

Through practical exercises and real-world case studies, you’ll learn to conduct effective audits using the audit model. You’ll follow the complete audit process, from planning and preparation to closing meetings and reporting, while developing the confidence to interpret and apply requirements in real audit scenarios.

Rather than focusing on theory, this course emphasizes hands-on learning. You’ll gain practical techniques for conducting interviews, identifying audit evidence, and uncovering opportunities for true quality system improvement.

Whether you’re responsible for audits, preparing for MDSAP certification, or supporting your organization’s compliance efforts, this course equips you to perform internal audits that add value.

ISO 14001 & ISO 45001 Lead Auditor Training (Live-Online)

 Recognized by Exemplar Global

Days: 5 • CEU Hours: 4

 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM MST

 

Overview

Environmental and occupational health & safety risks affect every organization, and regulatory pressure continues to rise. To stay compliant and protect both people and the planet, companies need skilled auditors who can evaluate management systems against international standards and drive meaningful improvement.

This live-online ISO 14001 & ISO 45001 Lead Auditor Training course is recognized by Exemplar Global and provides a complete path to becoming a certified Lead Auditor for both ISO 14001:2026 and ISO 45001:2018.

Over five intensive days, you’ll develop practical auditing skills and a solid understanding of both standards, along with the tools to evaluate conformance, identify risk, and drive system improvement. Whether you’re auditing internally, working with suppliers, or supporting certification efforts, this course prepares you to lead with confidence.

This training combines environmental and occupational health & safety content in a streamlined format that is helpful for professionals at all levels. The first four days cover ISO 14001 audit training, including management system principles, audit planning, conducting interviews, writing findings, and leading audit teams. The fifth day builds on this foundation with targeted instruction on ISO 45001 and hazard identification, allowing you to complete both credentials in one course.

This program goes beyond theoretical knowledge by using case studies, exercises, and role-playing scenarios to build real-world skills. By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to conduct value-added audits that improve system effectiveness, support regulatory compliance, and help your organization meet its environmental and safety goals.

What’s New in ISO 14001:2026

ISO 14001:2026 (fourth edition, April 2026) is a technical revision of the 2015 edition. The Plan-Do-Check-Act framework and the ten-clause harmonized structure are unchanged. This course covers the substantive 2026 updates, including:

  • New Clause 6.3 — Planning of Changes. A formal requirement to plan changes to the EMS so that intended outcomes are still achieved. In 2015 this was implied; in 2026 it is its own auditable sub-clause.
  • Expanded environmental conditions. Climate change mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity, and ecosystem health are now named explicitly throughout the standard — most visibly in Clause 4.1.
  • Risks & Opportunities promoted to its own sub-clause (6.1.4). What was bundled inside 6.1.1 in 2015 is now a dedicated sub-clause with its own documented-information requirement.
  • Externally provided processes, products, or services. The 2015 term “outsource” has been removed entirely and replaced with this broader phrasing in Clause 8.1.
  • Updated documented-information vocabulary. “Maintain documented information” is replaced by “shall be available as documented information”, and “retain documented information as evidence of” becomes “documented information shall be available as evidence of”.
  • Compliance obligations vocabulary. “Fulfil compliance obligations” is now “meet compliance obligations” throughout the standard.
  • Harmonized Structure (HS). The term “high level structure” is replaced by “harmonized structure” — same Annex SL framework, updated label.
  • Clause 10 reordering. Continual Improvement (10.1) now precedes Nonconformity and Corrective Action (10.2). The old 10.1 General and 10.3 are absorbed into 10.1.

Overview

Organizations face increasing pressure to reduce environmental impact and comply with evolving regulations. This ISO 14001:2026 training course for lead auditors prepares you to lead effective environmental management system audits that drive compliance, reduce risk, and support sustainability goals.

In this four-day, Exemplar Global–recognized ISO 14001 training, you’ll learn how to interpret ISO 14001:2026 requirements and apply them in real-world audit situations. The course walks you through the full audit process, from planning and conducting interviews to writing findings and leading closing meetings.

You’ll participate in interactive exercises, case studies, and audit role-play scenarios to build practical skills and gain hands-on experience. Training also covers how to assess environmental risks, identify meaningful nonconformities, and use audit results to improve system performance.

Whether you’re just starting your auditing journey or advancing your current role, this ISO 14001 training gives you the knowledge and confidence to perform value-added audits that help your organization meet its environmental and regulatory commitments.

What’s New in ISO 14001:2026

ISO 14001:2026 (fourth edition, April 2026) is a technical revision of the 2015 edition. The Plan-Do-Check-Act framework and the ten-clause harmonized structure are unchanged. This course covers the substantive 2026 updates, including:

  • New Clause 6.3 — Planning of Changes. A formal requirement to plan changes to the EMS so that intended outcomes are still achieved. In 2015 this was implied; in 2026 it is its own auditable sub-clause.
  • Expanded environmental conditions. Climate change mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity, and ecosystem health are now named explicitly throughout the standard — most visibly in Clause 4.1.
  • Risks & Opportunities promoted to its own sub-clause (6.1.4). What was bundled inside 6.1.1 in 2015 is now a dedicated sub-clause with its own documented-information requirement.
  • Externally provided processes, products, or services. The 2015 term “outsource” has been removed entirely and replaced with this broader phrasing in Clause 8.1.
  • Updated documented-information vocabulary. “Maintain documented information” is replaced by “shall be available as documented information”, and “retain documented information as evidence of” becomes “documented information shall be available as evidence of”.
  • Compliance obligations vocabulary. “Fulfil compliance obligations” is now “meet compliance obligations” throughout the standard.
  • Harmonized Structure (HS). The term “high level structure” is replaced by “harmonized structure” — same Annex SL framework, updated label.
  • Clause 10 reordering. Continual Improvement (10.1) now precedes Nonconformity and Corrective Action (10.2). The old 10.1 General and 10.3 are absorbed into 10.1.

Overview

This course prepares you to perform internal QMS audits using industry-proven techniques and to apply proper interpretation of the API Q1 standard to real life audit situations. You’ll follow the full audit process including: audit tools and preparation, opening meetings, audit interviews, closing meetings, and reporting.

This is a very practical class that is not “bogged-down” with academic discussions of quality topics that have limited utility for class attendees.
This Internal Audit class makes extensive use of activities and case studies to help you fully understand the requirements of quality system auditing to the API Q1 10th Edition. Since people “lock” new understanding into long-term memory much better when they apply it, lecture time is held to a minimum providing you time to grasp and then practice your newly acquired skills in simulated real-life audit situations.

Who Should Attend

Individuals who will perform audits to API Q1 or Quality Management Systems, individuals assisting their organizations toward API registration, or individuals who are frequently audited should attend this training. Quality directors, managers, engineers, auditors, ISO coordinators, laboratory quality professionals, and anyone engaged in quality audits will benefit from this training.

Prerequisites

There are no required prerequisites. This course is routinely taught to quality novices and life-time professionals. All attendees are required to bring their own copy of the API Q1 10th Edition to this training course- These will not be provided for you. We strongly advise you bring a “paper” copy.

API Q1 Course Objectives

  • Prepared to conduct a solo internal audit at successful course completion.
  • Fully understand and interpret the API Q1 requirements.
  • Apply the proper interpretation of the standard in actual audit situations.
  • Understand process auditing tools leading to substantive quality system improvements.
  • Tailor an audit interview based on the requirements of the standard and obtain audit evidence from this interview.
  • Follow-up and resolve “audit trails that present themselves during the audit interviews.
  • Conduct audits that result in real improvements to the quality system.
  • Plan and execute the entire audit process including: audit preparation, opening meetings, auditing, closing meetings, and reporting.
