Lead Assessor Programme

This intensive 5-day programme is designed to equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to plan, lead, and report on assessment activities against any international standard (e.g., ISO 17025, 17021-1, 15189.). The course blends theory with practical application, enabling assessors to operate effectively in diverse and complex environments. By taking part in the Lead Assessor course, you and your organisation will directly benefit: • Strengthened internal capability to assess compliance and performance • Consistent, high-quality assessment practices across teams • Enhanced readiness for external audits and certifications • Participants will be equipped to support their organisations in achieving and maintaining compliance with key international standards, fostering a culture of continual improvement and robust assessment practices. Please note: completion of the training programme does not confer UKAS Lead Assessor status. Appointment to that position follows a separate internal process with additional training and mentoring.
