CERTIFICATION, SIMPLIFIED

The Process

Our 20 Week Certification Cohorts offer a unique approach to certification. Typically, consultants work 1-1 with companies to train and implement. We've take that same training, standardized it, and provide it as a group implementations (cohorts). Our cohorts provide a robust training program that ensures each company is knowledgeable on the Standard and their QMS, while also fully engaged in the actual implementation process. 

Step 1

Kick Off

After you sign up, you will do a self assessment to give us an idea of what QMS currently looks like for you and what your end goals are. Prior to the start of the Cohort Sessions, you will receive prework activities and further details about the sessions.

Key Prework Activity:

  • Complete Self Assessment 
  • Complete required readings 
  • Complete required prework homework activities

Step 2

The Implementation

Cohort sessions are held weekly for 20 weeks. Each week includes one training & implementation session and one office hours session. Each session includes training on the standard, training on how to implement, and homework for what each company needs to go do. You will also have time for Q&A.

Key Deliverables:

  • AS9100/ISO 9001 Quality Manual
  • Documented procedures, work instructions, and forms
  • Weekly Training & Implementation Sessions
  • Training materials and records
  • Weekly Office Hours 
  • Internal auditor training
  • Registrar audit preparation

Step 3

Internal Audit

Auditing will be a key activity for each company in regards to maintaining compliance after you are certified. We will provide auditor training to equip you and your team with the ability to do your auditing. However, we can provide this as a service as well if you would like a 3rd party to verify your system.

Outcome:

  • Internal Audit Report
  • Determine if you are ready for the registrar audit or if additional implementation support is needed.
  • After audit is passed, we will proceed to scheduling the audit.

Step 4

Registrar Audit

Once you have completed the cohort sessions and have passed your internal audit, you will schedule the registrar audit. We will assist in providing a list of registrars you can contact. Our sessions also provide details on the process to ensure they are comfortable and fully prepared to pass the audit. 

Outcome:

  • Achieve certification 
  • Have the processes in place to maintain compliance and improve quality performance.
