Getting started with the ISO 21001 certification procedure might seem complex to you, but our expert ISO 21001 consultants will make it easier for you with trouble-free steps.

Consultation

In the first step, we would discuss with you the details of the ISO 21001 requirements and provide consultation to help you understand their relevance in your organization and processes. Our consultants would then help you plan the next steps to meet the criteria for successful certification within a decided timeframe.

Document Your Educational Organizations Management System (EOMS)

Our consultants will help you determine the scope and objectives of your management system. Following that, they would evaluate your existing processes to determine how they will interact with the management system. Subsequently, they would help you to prepare a document of the processes, as required by the standard. The document establishes how your employees should execute the processes to adhere to the standard’s requirements.

Implementation of the management system

Once the documentation is complete, you need to provide training to the employees to ensure the system is practically put into place. Training is necessary to ensure the system is efficiently integrated throughout your organization, and there is consistency in the roles of employees.

Internal Audit

Our team also has expert auditors who will analyze your processes and management system to find out any inconsistencies and nonconformities. They would then provide recommendations to address the identified issues, ensuring your organization is fully compliant and certification-ready.

Certification

You need to apply for certification to a certification body. They would conduct an external audit and certify your organization after confirming compliance with your management system. Our consultants will help to maintain your certification in the long run by periodically following up and performing surveillance audits.
