The class is based on a portion of an RABQSA approved ISO 13485 Certified Lead Auditor class. This class provides on-line access to ISO 9000 (vocabulary standard) and over 20 downloadable handouts such as: an ISO 13485 checklist, a Student Textbook, Study Tips, a before-class assessment and after-class objectives, and so on. Students must apply what they learned by completion of an assignment for marking by an instructor. If students want a copy of the ISO 13485 standard, they must provide their own, however, the standard is not a material requirement for the class. The class consists of a series of lessons, illustrations, diagrams, interactive exercises and quizzes.
