Certification

ISO 10015 is a quality standard from the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). 

Once training systems and management processes are in place, and being effectively used, then organisations and training providers can be taken forward to the next stage - Auditing and Certification. 

The first step is to REGISTER INTEREST and arrange for one of our OFQT consultants to meet with you to discuss the process - see below the stages to achieve Certification.
