ISO 9001 qualification to obtain ISO 27001 qualification?

I would like to participate to ISO 27001 Lead Auditor course but unfortunately I received different answers from different organisations. Some of them said that I am not allowed to take part of this course due to the fact that I don't have ISO 9001 certification. The rest of them said that I can participate to this course even if I don't have ISO 9001, because my 4+ years experience in IT field is enough. (I am currently holding a QA position.)

Answer:
From my point of view, experience on ISO 9001 is not necessary to participate to ISO 27001 Lead Auditor (there are many people that start with ISO 27001 without experience or qualifications on ISO 9001). So, don’t worry, you can start with ISO 27001 when you want, furthermore your 4+ years experience in IT field can help you to understand technical controls that have the standard (although if you have experience in ISO 9001, maybe you can understand better ISO 27001 because there are many common points).
