the lead auditor for our company's internal audit program. The webinar process was simple to follow yet provided
enough tools to convey the instructors' lessons effectively. Most importantly the webinar layout conveniently fit my busy
lifestyle." Kevin Kweder, Schroeder Industries LLC
"...From personal experience, I tried to 'do it yourself' by buying the books and taking the practice questions. I missed passing the exam by two points as I answered questions the way in which the auditing program was conducted by my employer at the time which was not always the correct answer. Mr. Kish provided valuable insight into those gray areas of auditing. I highly recommend taking this class before taking the Certified Quality Auditor exam." Robin Dudash
