Introduction

A one-day CQI and IRCA Certified training awareness programme for those requiring an introduction to the ISO 9001:2015 standard and how it can be used to develop and improve quality management systems.

This foundation course gives an introduction to the most widely used standard for Quality Management in the world. Creation of a successful quality system relies on more than reading the text in the standard; it demands an understanding of requirements and a considered application of the standard to the organisation. This course will provide delegates with an insight into the important world of quality standards, their development and the certification process.
