Comply Guru are proud to announce that we have been granted approval by CQI & IRCA to offer virtual training – on our approved blended training courses.
What is Virtual Classroom Training?
This means that for the “classroom” portion of the training, we can offer virtual training as an option for those that prefer to complete their training via a virtual classroom with a Live Instructor.
Virtual training is an alternative format to complete your training – but it will remain highly interactive & collaborative – the same as it would in a traditional classroom environment.
The virtual classroom format will involve shorter “live” sessions with an Instructor on the training days – including regular breaks & interactive assignments (individual & team-based work) for an enjoyable & engaging learning experience.
Is the course still certified?
Yes, the course is still certified and all Learners who successfully complete the full program will receive a CQI & IRCA Certificate of Achievement.
What about the CQI & IRCA Written Examination?
CQI & IRCA require us to invigilate the final written examinations that apply on lead auditor programs. The examinations must be completed within 180 days at a test centre. Comply Guru would expect to complete any required examinations shortly after the training has been fully completed.
If attending a public course, a public venue (hotel or equivalent) will be organised to host the examination on a specific date & time for all Participants of that program.
If attending a private course, similarly we will organise to host the examination on a specific date & time for all Participants of that program. For international assignments, we may be able to accommodate special arrangements (contact us for further information).
What do you need to participate?
To participate in the virtual training sessions, you will need:
- Laptop or desktop computer (Note: A tablet or mobile device is not suitable for this training)
- Webcam – Built-in or USB plug-in
- Speakers and a microphone – Built-in or USB plug-in. We strongly recommend a headset if you have this available
- Internet connection – Minimum of 1.0Mbps
How will Comply Guru help you prepare in advance?
1 week in advance of every training course, we will be hosting an on-boarding & familiarisation virtual training session with all Participants.
This advance session will recap on the key learning outcomes from the online modules completed & ensure every Participant is comfortable and familiar with the software and tools that we will use during the virtual training.
For any Participant that is experiencing any issues, these can be identified & support will be available both before and during any virtual training course.
This was an excellent course. The blended venue meant that I was able to attend. The course exercises were germane. The test was good gauge of achievement. This course was worth the investment.

Aoife Walsh | December 8, 2020
I would recommend Comply Guru ISO 13485 Lead Auditor training course for anyone wanting to develop their auditing skills. The course is very well structured and it provides learners with the concepts and skills necessary for auditing. Special credit to the instructors. Breda and John were extremely knowledgeable and willing to share their thoughts experiences and opinions. The language was very clear and understandable.
Katarzyna Kiedrowska | December 8, 2020
I did find the course intense but this was possibly trying to fit this with working from home completing projects managing a team and the time of year. I learnt so much from the course and the facilitator was responsible for this. I would definitely attend a course through Comply Guru again and would recommend
Shona Murphy | December 8, 2020
I really enjoyed the course. The auditors were very knowledgeable and friendly which I really liked. The pace was great and the chat between all the attendees was really emjoyable.
Lisa Comer | December 8, 2020
Breda was very friendly accommodating to all questions and very knowledgeable of the standard auditing. Her teachings were added to by stories and real life examples.
Ciara St. Ledger | December 8, 2020
I enjoyed this training as it was informative and fun. Was well put together by providing the background knowledge and the practical experience.
Olivia Rice | December 8, 2020
The training was excellent and I have a great understanding of ISO 13485 as a result
Brian Purtill | December 8, 2020
course was very compact would have been more ideal to get a bit more time. issue from our side of things since I hadnt seen the standard before I should have completed the foundation course 1st before implementing the lead auditor course. have highlighted this to the manager as a recommendation. A mock exam would be helpful to do it when you get to a standard that your ready for the exam but what to see how you do on what you know before going into study mode and see where you went wrong.
Aoife Carbin | December 8, 2020
Comply guru provided a very positive enlightening training experience. Everything from the pretraining introduction sessions to the email prep information and meeting set ups were well structured and provided the information clearly. The instruction and support for mechanics of an online exam were very well prepared communicated.For any of my future training needs comply guru will be the first search.
Kevin Conlon | December 8, 2020
It was intense informative fast paced and enjoyable. They were long days that flew by and that is testament to course content and the tutors ability.

Thank you for the great course I really enjoyed it .The instructors were experts both Breda and John style were well suited to the class and very interactive - there was plenty of opportunities to ask questions and in many cases real life example questions were answered with real life example answers Making it really relevant to anyone working in the Industry. This is a very well organized online course.

Great course very interactive - Instructors Breda John were very animated and painted a very honest view of auditing with great tips for not only carrying out an Auditor Role but also for an Auditee. Great backroom support provided both mentors were very approachable and created an excellent practical environment. Would definitely recommend.
Charlotte Dugdale | December 5, 2020
Very experienced trainers well versed in their subject material and with an infectious attitute to the subject at hand. They definitely got the most of all the trainees including me. Result.
Brian Bryce | December 3, 2020
The course extremley well structured and presented. All comments were taken in to consideration and tweaks to the training were made to facilitate the needs of the class. The instructor was so knowledgeable professional and approachable at all stages through the training despite the new normal we find ourselves in. Overall it was definitely the best training I have received in a very long time.
Sarah Killian | December 3, 2020
I would highly recommend the Comply Guru ISO 13485 Lead Auditor training course. The blended learning format worked really well as the first two days were self-paced. Although the final three days were intense the break in between meant there was a greater opportunity to absorb the information. Both tutors brought their considerable knowledge and experience to the course which helped facilitate our learning.
Angela Higgins | December 3, 2020
Very good course with very knowledgeable tutors - very apparent that they know the ISO134852016 standard and were able to answer any question posed.
Sharon Coyle | December 3, 2020
Very clear training delivered by excellent and knowledgeable instructors who also showed a great deal of care to their students as well.
Hilary King | December 3, 2020
I attended the blended course from the USA and even with the time difference I absolutely would recommend this course to anyone who is interested. Well structured and planned with no hidden surprises. The course content was well designed with a lot of team exercises and role play activity with case studies which made learning easy and kept me engaged throughout the course duration. The instructor was just phenomenal.
Ashweni Narendra | October 9, 2020
It was a great course. I didnt think it would be very interesting to be honest But the online modules had good variety and the online training with Breda was very well delivered. I definitely learned a lot Breda was able to give many real world examples or scenarios to explain different things and we learned a lot about the whole audit process.
Robert Casey | October 9, 2020
This course was excellently delivered and the content was all relevant.
Kevin Claffey | October 9, 2020
The course was very well put together and Breda was so friendly welcoming helpful and full of knowledge. The zoom aspect was brilliant and easy to use. The addition of the small kahoot quizzes really helped to bring a bit of a laugh into the course.
Nicole Bartley | October 9, 2020
Andreas Diplas | July 22, 2020
A great first experience for me with ComplyGuru I would recommend this course to the internal auditing team for the the purpose of improving our knowledge and experience so that we can obtain better results from our internal auditing program.
Jennifer Brett | July 8, 2020

Mohankumar Krishnappa | July 7, 2020
Ive done both blended and virtual blended. Liked both but really feel I got more when I was with Breda in the classroom. she is just an excellent trainer. her transmission of the knowledge is without unnecessary affect or drama. Im extremely black and white though and can get easily boggled by too many grey areas.
Angela Curran | July 7, 2020
An excellent well managed course.
Deirdre Quigley | July 7, 2020
What a fantastic training I am over the moon. This was my 3rd LA course in the last 30days a 3rd ATP as well and Comply Guru CG deserves a 1010 others are at 7 or 8. The tutors John Breda were simply awesome with a ton of knowledge. CG is ahead in the race in delivering training when compared to other way more experienced ATPs. Astounding team Eoin Kelly
Sheshadri Nagaraja Nittoor | July 7, 2020
Everything went well. Maybe more emphasis on the aspect of the patient safety should be dopne
Stanislav Praslov | July 7, 2020
Really enjoyed the course the instructors were very knowledgeable and accommodating.
Claire Aspell | July 7, 2020
I would advise any auditor to attend this training. I took an awful lot from the course and I am delighted I completed it.
Theresa O Reilly | July 7, 2020
This course was very practical and applied. Having the theoretical aspect completed before the classroom part was great. Everyone could hit the ground running with all the basic knowledge in place. I never thought a virtual classroom could be so engaging. There were great discussions had by everyone. I learned way more than I thought I would and I think it will stick with me far beyond the course.
Louise Barrett | July 7, 2020
Very enjoyable course. The style and pace of the course was excellent. Although the remote working can be tiring using the screen constantly the whole process felt well planned and in control. Both Breda and John are outstanding trainers and an absolute credit to Comply Guru. They have an ability to involve everyone one of the better courses completed for participation. Definitely would recommend this course to others.

It was great to have first an on-line training because we had the possibility to do that on our own rythm and to go back there anytime we wanted. Classroom session was really well organized and trainers are really competent
Stephanie Maunat | June 8, 2020
good structurethe 3 days of virtual training were already very exhausting maybe you could split it into 5 days to take the pressure off
Christina Fiebig | June 8, 2020
Due to language difficulties it was hard for me to follow the speech pace sometimes but it was always possible to ask questions and every important information was outlined more than once so I never felt to fall behind - that was very good
Helge Grabbe | June 8, 2020
Thought course was well delivered by instructors.
Andrew Hogan | June 7, 2020

Reny Rosales | May 26, 2020
The course was intense but very well structured with pre-course activities that enabled the online class activities to focus on the key aspects considerations execution of lead auditing activities. The online structure incorporated a good mixture of lectures videos assignments group activities with feedback and model examples. The tutors were exceptionally knowledgeable and gave great direction as to how to correctly approach leading an audit and how to approach the lead auditor exam for successful completion.
Joe Kilbride | May 25, 2020
Aine Ni Obain | May 25, 2020

First time completing a blended learning virtual course. It was really successful. It opened up a new way of learning for me and it is very flexible.
Caterina Sheehan | May 23, 2020
In taking the ISO 134852016 Lead Auditor training class it was a great way to complete the training in only a few days by doing alot of the classroom training up front. This upfront training allowed for the classroom training to be more indepth and to do practical applications.
Kathy Bahls | May 23, 2020
I absolutely loved doing my course with comply guru. The trainers are so supportive from start to finish. I would highly recommend complyguru. Looking into my next course already.

Renata Von Beaumont | May 21, 2020
I really enjoyed the lead auditor training course provided by Comply Guru. It was presented on line and was very well constructed. I found the support team of Breda John Eoin to be highly knowledgeable and very approachable throughout the entirety of the course. The course provided me with a lot on new skills but also provided me with new insight which I feel will really benefit me in my role as a quality engineer.
Jonathan Canavan | May 21, 2020
An excellent course well put together by Breda and the Team. It delivered the content in a relaxed manner. It did not lose sight of the importance of understanding the content but also how this needed to be applied in the exam environment
Patrick Ford | May 21, 2020
The training provided was perfect. The support from trainers was perfect. I have already recommend the course to my friends.
Agnieszka Paprocka | May 21, 2020
I found this course really well presented. The course content was very good and it was very evident that a lot of work went into ensuring the course was effective. Both Breda and John were very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the course and even prior to starting. I thought the breakout sessions were good and broke up the course well. There was also a good sense of fun in the course.
Michelle Donnellan | May 20, 2020
I partecipate to the Training for ISO 134852016 Lead Auditor. The course is very well prepared and organized. I really loved the activities to be performed in group and the audit simulation exercises. Overall really great experience.

Shane Curran | May 15, 2020
Faultless delivery of both online material and especially the virtual classroom training module. Compliance Guru is leading the way with this platform of training and is taking training to another level. Way ahead of the pack on this one Fantastic experience all around.
Michelle Keane | May 15, 2020
Have a look at Q18 of this survey....how likely yesno responseComply Guru did a super job very professional very focused dedicated and hard working. I wish them well in the future.
Marilla Keating | January 27, 2020
I had never undertaken a blended learning course before the structure was far better than I expected. The on-line portion was very detailed and the knowledge checks assessments and audit scenarios were very beneficial in getting you to apply the knowledge you had just gained. An advantage of the on-line portion is that it sets you up very well for the classroom training. It sometimes takes a while to kick off a training course as you get up to speed with the basics we had this going in and we could hit the ground running.
Sharon White | December 20, 2019
A great experience staff were knowledgeable friendly professional and passionate about the subject matter. Also very approachable and it is very obvious that thy care about all aspects of the course and want to provide good value which they do Due to unavoidable circumstance the change in tutor for the last day somewhat disrupted the flow. The summary of the corse content could be improved. At this stage it is all about the exam Suggest a half hour quick review of a sample paper stating the length of answers required for all stages would also suggest that it may be beneficial to start with question 4 then 3 before competing the last parts. Time pressure is a factor and its unfortunate that when one is running short of time that this equates to when one is answering the highest amount of marks available would even go so far to say that section 4 move to the present section 1 present section 3 move to 2 present section 1 to 4 may sound pedantic but time is crucial especially when panic might set in
Brian O'Connell | December 20, 2019
The course was excellent - the blended nature meant the trainee could complete online training and preparation at their own pace and familiarise themselves with the standard this eliminated time wasting in class and meant everyone was familiar with the standard when they arrived in the classroom. The classroom exercises and discussions were designed to aid learning and application of the standard and time was optimised. The course design really suits a busy professional who cant afford to take 5 days out of busy schedules for classroom training without losing any of the learning in the shorter time frame due to the blended design. The tutor was excellent and his knowledge and experience showed and indeed made the 2 days seem shorter and not one Powerpoint slide was utilised
Olivia McDermott | December 18, 2019
Overall my training experience was fantastic the support I received from Comply guru was fantastic so reassuring and helpful. I found online part of the training brilliant very helpful for me to complete over a period of time and at my own time. the best part was the examinations and knowledge questions throughout it really helped me to see if I am on the right track. The class room training is where I learned a lot of valuable knowledge it help put the pieces together from the online course. The instructor John was fantastic so knowledgeable.
Aaron Dolan | December 18, 2019
The on-line portion of this course was excellent. The content was well presented and nicely laid out with good indication of progress to me as a learner at all times. I enjoyed the mix of presentation styles and was attentive throughout. The competency assessment aspects were robust. The classroom aspect needs more planning and needs to follow the materials more closely so the learner has a sense of where they are. As I knew the topic well before the formal training, I was fine, but less experienced students may have struggled. Having a different tutor on day 3 was disruptive. Overall, it was a positive experience and with better planning and structure for the classroom aspect and tutor available for full course, I would recommend this course to colleagues. Best of luck in this new venture as I believe this method of training delivery to be very useful.
Rita Woodings | December 18, 2019
The blended learning aspect allowed me time to prepare for the classroom based learning - I would not have been in a position to sign up for 5 straight days as their is not enough room in my calendar for that
Deirdre Barrow | December 18, 2019
As I said in class - it was great especailly when I was under pressure to get the course complete. Online is a big advantage
