About Us

Bywater is the UK’s leading independent provider of management systems and business improvement training and consultancy with one of the largest ranges of online and public courses certified by professional bodies including CQI and IRCA, IEMA and IOSH.

We have a committed team that go above and beyond to provide a service and learning experience that surpasses customer expectations. By reacting to demand, tightly monitoring feedback and relentlessly analysing our performance with the aim of improving our service, we continue to help organisations run more effective management systems, improve the quality of their products and services and support them in achieving their goals.

Bywater was first established in 1982 as a training and consultancy provider focused on strategy and management systems implementation within the Oil and Gas industry. 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.

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.

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.
