Program Professional Framework
Aviation Internal Auditor
Program Overview
Internal audits are how airlines, airports, maintenance organisations and ground handlers verify that their safety and quality systems work in practice before regulators or customers find the gaps. The programme develops internal auditing competence in an aviation setting: building a risk-based audit programme, preparing checklists from regulations and company manuals, conducting interviews, sampling and on-site observation, writing evidence-based findings, and verifying corrective action plans. It applies ISO 19011 audit guidelines alongside ICAO Annex 19 SMS and quality assurance expectations, and reflects the requirements of Gulf authorities such as GACA and the UAE GCAA.
Learning Outcomes
- ✓Develop a risk-based annual audit programme covering operations, maintenance, ground handling and security.
- ✓Prepare audit checklists derived from applicable regulations, company manuals and SMS requirements.
- ✓Conduct audit interviews, document reviews and observations while maintaining auditor objectivity.
- ✓Classify and write audit findings with clear reference, evidence and risk level.
- ✓Evaluate root cause analysis and corrective action plans submitted by audited departments.
- ✓Report audit results and trends to accountable managers and the safety review board.
Target Audience
- Quality and compliance auditors in airlines and airports
- Safety managers and SMS coordinators

Applied Project & Assessment
Applied Project
Participants plan and simulate an internal audit of a selected process such as ramp operations or line maintenance: audit plan, checklist, interview notes, three written findings with evidence and an assessment of the proposed corrective actions.
Assessment
Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
