Why Choose This Course?
ISO 9001:2026 is the forthcoming revision of the world’s most widely adopted quality management standard, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It introduces updates and clarifications to the internationally recognised requirements for Quality Management Systems.
Once the standard is published in September 2026, organisations currently certified to ISO 9001:2015 will have a set transition period (expected to be three years) to transition their certification to ISO 9001:2026.
The transition isn’t about starting from scratch. It is about understanding where your current system needs to evolve, and this course is designed to equip you with the necessary information.
Getting to grips with the changes early – before your transition audit is booked – is the difference between a planned update and a last-minute scramble, and that’s exactly what this course prepares you for.
Course Overview
The ISO 9001:2026 Transition Essentials eLearning breaks down what’s changing and what it means for your existing system, covering:
- The core principles that carry over from ISO 9001:2015.
- A clear walkthrough of the new and revised requirements.
- Areas where your current documentation, processes, and evidence may need updating.
Who Should Attend?
This course is suitable for anyone with responsibility for maintaining ISO 9001 certification at their organisation – whether you’re a quality manager, a compliance lead, or a director overseeing the transition process.
No specialist prior knowledge beyond your existing familiarity with ISO 9001 is required. The aim is for learners to come away with a clear understanding of the updated standard’s requirements, where your management system may need to change, and how to prepare for a successful transition audit with greater confidence.
