About This Course
The ISO 9001 Lead Implementer programme gives you the practical skills to establish, run and continually improve a quality management system (QMS) based on ISO 9001. Delivered fully self-paced and online, it follows a proven implementation approach built around the process approach, the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle and risk-based thinking.
You’ll learn to translate ISO 9001’s requirements into a working QMS — from understanding the organisation’s context and defining a quality policy, through operational control and documented information, to performance evaluation and continual improvement — and to prepare the organisation for certification.
