ISO 9001 Standard Updates and Building a Management System

Learn how to organize ISO 9001–based quality management

In this training, you’ll learn how your organization can effectively build a management system aligned with the ISO 9001 standard.

The training walks through the standard’s structure in concrete terms, and covers the key stages of building and developing your system through examples, applied group discussion, and exercises. Along the way, we’ll also introduce the most important quality-management tools.

The updated ISO 9001 standard will be published in 2026. The training also covers what changes and new requirements the revised standard is expected to include, based on the most current information available, and how to factor them into your own organization’s management system.

“A solid basic package on ISO 9001. It was interesting to hear, through the discussions, an outline of how other companies handle the same things.”
