Description

You’ll begin by exploring the background and structure of ISO 45001, understanding its integration with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, and reviewing Saudi OHS regulations and standards. In the auditing modules, you’ll cover key principles—impartiality, competence and risk-based approaches—then learn to plan audits using ISO 19011 guidelines and ISO/IEC 17021-1 criteria.

Next, you’ll practise auditing Clauses 4–10 of ISO 45001:2018, gathering evidence through interviews, document reviews and workplace observations, while taking into account local hazards, worker participation and cultural considerations. You will also focus on the internal auditor role, developing essential skills to execute step-by-step OHSMS audits.

In the final modules, you’ll deepen your understanding of the Lead Auditor’s responsibilities—examining certification pathways, transition timelines and stakeholder management—and receive targeted exam preparation, including time-management strategies and application guidance for Saudi registration.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
