ISO 9001 Awareness and Transition Course - Virtual Classroom

The ISO landscape is evolving with changes to ISO 9001:2015 (Quality) expected to be published in Autumn 2026. 

This course will support organisations to navigate the changes and transition to the refreshed standard smoothly.

Why ISO 9001 Awareness and Transition Matters to Your Organisation

Standards evolve as business expectations change

Quality management standards are updated to reflect new risks, technologies and expectations around governance, resilience and performance. Understanding the direction of the updated ISO 9001 standard helps organisations ensure their quality management systems remain relevant and effective.

Early awareness reduces disruption later

Understanding the proposed changes early allows organisations to start reviewing processes, identifying potential gaps and planning improvements in a structured way.

Leaders and practitioners need clarity on what comes next

As the revised standard develops, organisations need clear, practical insight into what the changes mean in practice. Building awareness now helps quality professionals and leaders guide their teams with confidence.
 

What You’ll Learn in the ISO 9001 Awareness and Transition Course

Explore why the ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems standard is being revised and what the proposed updates aim to achieve. 

• Clause-by-clause breakdown of the proposed changes: Work through the updated structure of the standard and identify what has changed compared with ISO 9001:2015. The course will highlight new requirements, clarified expectations and areas where organisations may need to adapt their existing quality management systems.
• Assessing the impact on your environmental management system: Learn how to review your current quality management system against the updated clauses and identify where existing processes, procedures or documentation may need to change.
• Planning your transition to the revised standard: Understand the practical steps needed to prepare your organisation for the updated ISO 9001 standard, including updating policies, revising procedures and preparing teams for future certification or audits.
