Since then we have grown to become one of the largest independent providers of management systems and business improvement training courses in the UK. Click to learn more.

Subject Matter Experts

All of our course tutors and consultants are leaders in their fields, often with decades of practical experience in the application of their subject and many working for approval bodies and technical committees on the development of international standards.  They are highly experienced trainers that engage and connect with what matters most to our customers, whether that is implementing or improving their management systems, reducing waste and variation within processes or managing supplier relationships and optimising contract performance.

All of our trainers are supported with ongoing performance and development reviews and are provided with the very latest training materials, methodology and best practice teaching techniques.

Independence

Unlike certification bodies governed by ISO 17021 Conformity Assessment Requirements that are restricted to providing training based on generic information rather than client specific solutions, our independence from the certification process allows us to focus entirely on your learning objectives and tailor courses to give you the most effective training experience. This tailored approach can include holding conversations and providing advice around company specific issues, incorporating your own documentation and procedures within the training materials or creating a bespoke course to meet your training requirements.

Our independence and the benefits of our impartiality extend to management systems consultancy and pre-assessment audits.
