ISO 9001 Lead Implementer — Quality Management System

The ISO 9001 Lead Implementer is a PECB (Professional Evaluation and Certification Board) official course.

Get the skills needed to support your organisation in implementing and managing a Quality Management System (QMS), based on ISO 9001:2015.

In three days, you'll learn the fundamental quality management principles, concepts and best practices. You'll also learn how to evaluate, monitor and measure your QMS, and how to maintain continuous improvement.

Maybe you're preparing for a QMS certification audit? If so, this course will teach you how to achieve that accreditation.

As of March 2023, PECB have partnered with Credly to offer you the chance of earning a digital badge upon completing your certification.
