AS9100D
AS9100D Internal Auditor
Plan, conduct and report process-based internal audits of an aviation, space and defense QMS
Internal Auditor · 16 hours · Certificate valid 36 months
Internal audits are the organization's own early warning system. In aerospace they also decide how smoothly the certification body's 9101 audit goes. This course trains you to audit AS9100D the way certification body auditors do: by process, against the organization's own objectives, with objective evidence and clear nonconformity statements.
You start with the standard itself. Two modules walk through every clause of AS9100D with the aerospace additions, each paired with an auditor tip that tells you what to sample and what usually fails. You then learn auditing fundamentals and the audit process from planning to closing meeting.
A dedicated module applies these skills to the aerospace-specific trails: first article inspection records, counterfeit part controls, configuration management, foreign object debris, special processes and Nadcap, external provider control, product safety and human factors. You learn the process effectiveness scale from 9101 and how to use it internally.
The course finishes with nonconformity writing, root cause analysis, reporting and follow-up. The final examination draws 30 questions from a bank of 50 with a 75 percent pass mark. On passing you receive a PlanetISO Certificate of Completion, with lifetime access to the course and your certificate.
