“Managers or consultants involved in Quality Management.”
This course prepares participants to identify every change between ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 9001:2026 and to update an existing quality management system so it conforms to the revised edition. The 2026 revision keeps the process approach and PDCA structure but adds explicit requirements on quality culture, ethical behavior, change planning, and the separate treatment of risks and opportunities. Most certified organizations need a gap analysis and a documented update plan before their next surveillance or recertification audit. Abilene Academy trainers are active QMS consultants and auditors who run clause-by-clause comparisons against real management system documentation. The course suits quality managers, internal auditors, and consultants maintaining ISO 9001 certificates.
