References on Procedure for Document Control in Toolkit
Answer: The document control procedure, as well as many other documents in the ISO 27001 documentation toolkit, were developed to be compliant with both, information security management system and business continuity management system. That's why you will find references for these standards. If you did not implement the business continuity management system you can simply delete these references. Their deletion won't impact your ISMS. -
Supply chain risks
Answer: The parameters used for vulnerability measuring on supply chain risks will be the same you use for measuring your own organizational risks (e.g., low, medium, and high).
What is different when you consider supply chain is that there will be new types of threats and vulnerabilities usually not found on internal operations (e.g., shared resources between tenants, contractual breaches, etc.)

Risk management in e-learning course
Answer: No. The course was designed to help you understand ISO 27001 and manage risks using its content, but to do it properly you should attend all modules related to clauses 6 (planning), 8 (Operation) and Annex A, which would be modules 2, 3, 4, and 6. If you attend only module 3 you will miss items like Information security objectives [clause 6.2], and applicable controls [Annex A]

Internal Auditor

>1 - Is this asset evaluation is mandatory in iso 27001.?

>2 - Can you please tell me what is the risk residual acceptance criteria .
Answer: The risk residual acceptance criteria are the same criteria you use to evaluate a risk.

Access control over Risk Assessment and Treatment Tables
Answer: Risk assessment and treatment tables should be accessed only by those who need to know them to plan, implement, monitor and improve controls to protect information. So, only a few people should have access to them, since most of organization's people will be users, with not active participation on controls management.
