Quality management systems (QMS)

Prove that you have the knowledge to audit the proper implementation of ISO 9001 and assess the overall performance of a quality management system.

To have credibility, accredited certification requires skilled auditors. To be effective and competitive, business and industry requires skilled auditors. The objective of our Quality Management Systems Auditor Certification Scheme is to deliver confidence to accredited certification and to business and industry that auditors certified to this programme are skilled.

As part of the certification process we will assess you towards requirements which replicate the key skills, experience and knowledge that determine competence and which you, the QMS auditor, need to have and demonstrate during an audit.
