Question 1

What is the difference between ISO training and ISO certification?

Accepted Answer

ISO training is for individuals who want to develop skills and knowledge about ISO standards. Upon completing training, you receive a training certificate. ISO certification applies to organizations (companies) and is issued by an accredited certification body after a formal audit process. We provide training for individuals and consulting services to help companies achieve certification.

Question 2

Are your training courses accredited?

Accepted Answer

Our training courses are delivered in partnership with recognized training providers. The training certificates issued upon completion are from ISO Qualify and demonstrate your competence in the relevant standard. These are training completion certificates, not professional accreditations. For courses requiring specific accreditation (like Lead Auditor), we work with accredited partners.

Question 3

Can I get ISO certified as an individual?

Accepted Answer

No, ISO management system certification (like ISO 9001, ISO 14001, etc.) applies to organizations, not individuals. As an individual, you can complete training courses and receive training certificates that demonstrate your knowledge and skills. These certificates can enhance your career and are recognized by employers.

Question 4

How are your courses delivered?

Accepted Answer

All our courses are delivered live online through interactive video sessions. You will join scheduled sessions with an instructor and other participants, participate in discussions, complete exercises, and ask questions in real-time. This is not self-paced e-learning—it is live, instructor-led training.

Question 5

Do you offer on-site training?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can arrange on-site training for corporate groups. Contact us for a customized quote based on your location, number of participants, and training requirements.

Question 6

What time zones do you offer training in?

Accepted Answer

We schedule training sessions across multiple time zones to accommodate participants globally. When you select a course, you will see available session dates and times. We aim to provide options that work for participants in Africa, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and the Americas.

Question 7

How long does company certification take?

Accepted Answer

The timeline for company certification varies depending on your organization's size, complexity, and current system maturity. For a small organization with some existing processes, certification can typically be achieved in 3-6 months. Larger organizations or those starting from scratch may need 6-12 months or more.

Question 8

What is involved in a certification audit?

Accepted Answer

Certification audits are conducted in two stages. Stage 1 is a documentation review to assess readiness. Stage 2 is a comprehensive assessment of your management system implementation. Both stages are conducted by an accredited certification body (not by us). We prepare you for these audits but do not conduct the certification audit ourselves.

Question 9

Can I get certified remotely?

Accepted Answer

Many certification bodies now offer remote or hybrid audit options, depending on your industry, risk profile, and scope. This can reduce travel costs and speed up the process. The suitability of remote audits depends on your specific situation—we can advise on the best approach during consultation.

Question 10

How much does ISO certification cost?

Accepted Answer

Certification costs vary based on your organization size, number of sites, industry, and scope. Costs include our consulting fees for preparation and the certification body's audit fees. Request a quote for a customized estimate based on your specific situation.
