Before and during the course FAQs

This course is designed to raise awareness of quality management systems (QMS) and ISO 9001 among executives and the workforce in general.

This knowledge is important across the organisation, as the implementation of a quality management system affects many roles and operations, directly or indirectly. The more employees who understand the benefits and the implications of implementing ISO 9001, the greater the opportunity for effective continued operation and management.

On this course you will learn about the key principles of a QMS and how implementing a system will benefit your business. Our expert tutors will explain the techniques, such as gap analysis and process maps, that you can use to maximise success and minimise risk, and how to support a QMS based on ISO 9001 after implementation. Because we take a very practical approach to training, you will leave the course ready to apply your learning to implementing a QMS in a real-life situation.

The content and approach of the course means that it is of value to managers and other interested parties, as well as those who will actually be carrying out the implementation.

Our expert tutors combine class teaching with workshops and discussions to enable attendees to practise the principles and techniques they are learning. The Category Management course is also designed to allow delegates to ask questions of the tutor to clarify their understanding.
