This course prepares participants to establish, implement, maintain, and improve a quality management system based on ISO 9001. Most QMS projects stall on the same decisions: where to draw the scope, who owns each process, which controls apply to suppliers and outsourced work, and what evidence a certification auditor will accept. Participants work through those decisions in sequence, from organizational context to certification audit readiness, using the PECB IMS2 implementation method. Abilene Academy trainers are active quality consultants who bring cases from live implementation projects. The course suits quality managers, QMS project leads, consultants, and professionals moving into quality management roles.
