Course Description:

ISO 9001 remains the leading global standard for quality management, helping organizations improve performance, meet customer requirements, and achieve sustainable success. The Final Draft International Standard (ISO/FDIS 9001) introduces important updates reflecting emerging priorities such as quality culture and ethical behaviour, climate change in context, digital transformation, and the formal separation of risks and opportunities.  

This one‑day transition course is designed for organizations already certified to ISO 9001:2015. It provides clear insight into the new requirements and clarifications, focusing on implementation readiness. You will learn how to interpret the changes, update your quality management system, and prepare your organization for a smooth transition. Delegates who attend this course will receive free updates if any changes occur between the ISO/DIS and the final standard. 

The course balances the needs of implementers (how to build conformance) with auditors (how to verify it), aligned with the BSI Assurance methodology. Whether you're leading your organization's transition project or preparing to audit against the new standard, this course equips you with the tools, techniques, and confidence to succeed. 

Delegates who attend this course will receive free updates if there are any changes between the ISO/FDIS and the final standard.
