Very good.

Training was excellent, very informative pre course and then the online training was excellent as the trainers knowledge of auditing was exceptional and he answered any questions the group had. I know this has nothing to do with Comply Guru but I did feel like the practice questions provided by IRCA could have been better because when comparing them with the actual exam the only thing I feel it prepared me for was the different formats the questions could come in i.e. drag to the correct box or tick the correct answers but it did not help with the actual content of the questions themselves.
-
This was really valuable course to undertake. The instructor was very knowledgeable on the various requirements of the ISO standards and everything was clearly explained.
