A CQI and IRCA certified quality management training consultancy is delighted to launch its first auditing course. rove, who has been delivering quality management courses and qualifications for over 12 years, has recently received CQI and IRCA approval for the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Systems foundation course in auditing.
The ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management Systems) foundation auditing course provides an essential guide to the ISO 9001: QMS standard and is a welcome addition to the current portfolio of quality management courses delivered by rove. Suitable for experienced quality management practitioners, it provides an understanding of the management systems approach, the requirements of ISO 9001 and the business benefits of improved performance of a QMS’s.
Chris Smith PCQI, rove’s Programme Lead, shares more about its new auditing course and the value he thinks it will bring to quality management practitioners – and the organisations they work for.
“ISO 9001 is really important for many who work within the quality field. It is ‘the’ International standard which specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS).
“It is also the most popular standard in the ISO 9000 series, and the only standard in the series to which organisations can certify.
“Many of the companies we work with, use this standard to demonstrate their ability – and commitment – to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. It is, in effect, a stamp of quality management excellence and best practice.”
He continued;
“What’s more, given this course is particulary suited to those involved in the design, implementation and management of a QMS, it’s a natural progression for many quality management practitioners who are dedicated to continuous improvement – even if they are not working towards ISO 9000 certification.
“It also has the added advantage of acting as effective preparation for those who are looking to complete other ISO 9000 series-based training courses, such as the QMS Lead Auditor or the Internal QMS auditor training courses.
“The ISO 9001:2015 (QMS) course is great for anyone who’s looking to gain an overview of ISO 9001:2015 (QMS) and the business benefits of improved performance of the quality management system.”
