Basic course for IRIS auditors

CC-Rail’s Internal IRIS auditor course is essential for achieving IRIS Certification on a short track, and is available for a wide range of rail industry managers, including quality and design engineers, buyers or project leaders

The course trains students in process-oriented auditing, the IRIS assessment methodology, IRIS preparation, implementation and audit tools.

It prepares clients to fully understand and meet the requirements of the IRIS standard, or improve a client’s internal auditing process.

Training concludes with a written and oral examination and an internationally recognised certificate that is valid for three years. Courses also feature practical exercises designed to improve an auditor’s code of practise.

Advanced course for IRIS auditors

The advanced IRIS auditor course allows participants to refresh their IRIS knowledge, to renew their certificates and to improve IRIS business management systems for the railway industry and operators.

This is aimed at internal IRIS auditors who have already passed their basic training, which should help them to achieve an ‘Optimised-level’ qualification in their next IRIS certification audit.

Reliability, availability, maintainability and lifecycle cost courses

The RAM / LCC course familiarises participants with reliability, availability, maintainability and lifecycle costs (RAM / LLC) requirements of IEC 62 278 (EN 50126).

Following the course, participants will be better placed to introduce their own RAM / LCC processes and data analysis under guidance in a first project.

The course is aimed at RAM / LCC engineers in the design, maintenance, project management, quality management, marketing and sales functions.

The training concludes with a written and oral examination and a certificate.

IRIS project management for the rail industry

CC-Rail’s project management courses provide a variety of key skills to participants, including initiating, planning, and carrying out projects, and optimising efficiently using scarce resources.

The four-day course is designed for project managers and project team members, such as project buyers, controllers, and quality assurance staff.

The course ends with a written examination and a certificate. After the training, participants are prepared for the internationally recognised iapm-Certification.

Risk and opportunity manager course

The ISO 9001: 2015 and IRIS standards feature more demanding risk and opportunity requirements. CC-Rail’s practical course provides comprehensive information regarding the basic processes and tools of a risk manager.
