In relation to the eLearning Modules, in our experience, Workplace IT environments’ internal configurations and available software can vary (new or old), and there may be various limitations or other restrictions in place, and as such, the functionality of any Learning Management System (LMS) may be impacted, restricted and may not perform well.

The Lead Auditor course provided by Comply Guru is an excellent way to gain expert knowledge of the field of ISO13485 auditing. Knowledgeable instructor and great class interactions.
-
This course was excellent! I really appreciated John's extensive experience and advice as well as his practical, positive, and humane approach to auditing. The group discussions and practical exercises were helpful and engaging. I got more value out of this course than I even expected! Would recommend!
-
I absolutely enjoyed it, it allowed me to think outside the box, challenged my knowledge of the standard and strengthened my understanding of auditing
-
Great experience overall, and I have already recommended it to some others. One suggestion would be to attempt and incorporate a little more of ISO 13485 training on the front end, it seemed the assumption is that one is already quite good at understanding and using it.
-
The ISO 13485 Lead Auditor training course is one of the best online courses I've ever been a part of. John's knowledge of the subject from a theoretical and practical standpoint were spot on, and his ability to bring out everyone's experience to share with the entire group was masterful. I really enjoyed taking this course!
