Check out Axeon.
They are much less expensive, are Exemplar certified and it is a a longer # of days for the course. They are based out of Utah. They offer online and in-person courses. If you are a repeat customer, typically you can get discounts. I have used them to get certified to
Lead Auditor for QMS- FDA QSR/ISO 13485:2016, MDSAP Audit Approach to ISO 13585:2016, and the EU MDR.
I have also taken an official multi-day training course (well done) on ISO 14971:2019, and that was after having been on a lot of risk mgmt teams at 3M (using the old ISO 14971:2007).

Subject: Recommendation for ISO 13485 Internal Auditor Training course
I would like to obtain ISO 13485 Certified Internal Auditor training and welcome any training course recommendations. The course must be Exemplar certified, live virtual, or in-person in Maryland.
I am leaning towards the 3-day virtual course offered by AQL (instructor is DEKRA). BSI also offers a 3-day virtual course but at a ~ 50% higher cost. TUV SUD offers a 2-day virtual course which I am leaning against given the other vendors feel 3 days is needed to cover the material.
Thank you in advance for any recommendations.
