% of Students Who RecommendKelmac Group

“I have had the opportunity to take Gerard's class twice. He has the magical touch to use any scenario presented and bring it back to the ISO Standard. He keeps you on your toes and does a great job working with each individual. Would always consider Gerard as a teacher.”

- C. Fung (January 2016)

“It was greatly helped by the 'real world' feel of the training; through use of real-world examples, practical templates, the experiences of the trainer, and a host of group activities. It was far removed from similar Lead Auditor courses I've been on, and if you're prepared to put in the effort, I would highly recommend it. ”
