When do the ISO 45001 Lead Auditor sessions run for learners in Dubai?
The course page lists the batch formats and session times, and 3FOLD Training shows its times in Gulf Standard Time, which is local time in Dubai.
Batch dates, formats and session times change from batch to batch, so this article does not print them. Open the course page for the current batches, or ask the 3FOLD Training team to confirm the next batch and its times before you plan your week. Learners outside the UAE should convert the times to their own time zone. Plan to attend every live session, because the audit method builds from one session to the next.
Pick the batch that you can attend in full, every session.

Who is eligible for the ISO 45001 Lead Auditor course?
The eligibility page lists no formal education or language requirement, and it welcomes anyone involved in planning, auditing or implementing an ISO 45001 system.
It names OH&S auditors who need to meet IRCA’s formal training requirement, internal auditors, consultants, managers and ISO project managers, among others. One point matters for your plans: audit experience gained before you earn the ISO 45001 Lead Auditor certificate is not counted toward IRCA membership, so start an audit log after you qualify. Applying for an IRCA grade is a separate step, and you need your Certificate of Achievement for it. Our guide to the eligibility criteria for the ISO 45001 Lead Auditor course explains this in detail, and our guide to how an ISO 45001 audit works is a good place to start if the subject is new to you.
Who is the ISO 45001 Lead Auditor course for?
It suits OH&S and EHS managers, internal auditors, consultants, ISO project managers and anyone who plans or audits an ISO 45001 system.
The eligibility page also names professionals who want a globally recognized certificate, credibility with employers and clients, and a route to IRCA membership. If your work is environmental, our ISO 14001 Lead Auditor course is the matching option. If you are unsure whether to start with internal auditing, our guide on the difference between an ISO 45001 internal auditor and a lead auditor helps you choose.
What is the career scope after an ISO 45001 Lead Auditor course?
The course gives you auditing skills that organizations use in internal audits, contractor audits, consulting and, with experience, certification work.
The course does not promise a job or a grade, and what you gain depends on your experience and the opportunities in your field. It does give you a recognized way to show that you can audit to ISO 45001 and the audit method behind it. The table shows where the skills are used.
| Path | How the course helps |
|---|---|
| Internal auditor or OH&S lead | You can plan and run audits of your own organization’s system. |
| Consultant | You can review a client’s system against the standard with an auditor’s eye. |
| Contractor or supplier auditor | You can audit the safety controls of contractors and suppliers using the audit method. |
| Certification body auditor | This route needs audit experience and the certification body’s own requirements on top of the course. |
Auditor registration through CQI and IRCA needs the Certificate of Achievement and audit experience. Our guide to the skills to become an ISO 45001 auditor lists the abilities to build, and our guide to maintaining your IRCA auditor grade shows what comes after registration.

What about the exam, the certificate and the fee?
The first exam attempt is inside the course fee, and the page does not print a price here because fees change.
The CQI and IRCA exam is open book, with 40 questions and 80 marks over 1 hour 45 minutes, and you need at least 50% overall and the minimum mark in each domain. The course page treats later attempts separately from the first. We prepare you for the exam; CQI and IRCA examine and certify, so the exam rules are theirs. Learners who pass receive a digital Certificate of Achievement, and only that certificate counts when you apply for IRCA auditor membership. For the exam format, see our page on the CQI IRCA ISO 45001 Lead Auditor exam online, and for how long to study, see our guide to ISO 45001 Lead Auditor exam preparation time. If you are comparing the cost of training with the cost of certification for a company, read how much ISO 45001 certification costs, because the two are different.

Course fit selector
For planning only. Choose the options that match you, and the selector lists what to check before you enrol. It is a planning aid, not an enrolment decision.
Your three checks before you enrol
You are well placed to start. Check the course page for the current batch and what the fee includes. Check the course page for any weekday-evening batch and its session times, shown in Gulf Standard Time, which is local time in Dubai. Plan to attend every live session, and ask the team for the next dates. A Certificate of Achievement is needed to apply for IRCA auditor membership, and a grade also depends on audit experience, which a course cannot provide. Experience gained before you earn the certificate is not counted, so start an audit log afterward.
Preloaded example: you know the basics, prefer a weekday-evening batch and aim for IRCA registration. Change any option to see different checks.
