ISO 9001 Consulting Services

ISO 9001 consultant with guaranteed services 

You won't just get your ISO 9001 certificate but also a quality management system that is simple, practical and flexible.

Our approach

We offer sensible and practical advice tailored to your needs, and in consultation with you.  That means we first need to ask you a number of questions, so we understand your background and what you need.  We partner with you; we want you to be self-sufficient, never dependent on a consultant. 

No matter which service you choose, we always aim to understand your business and your unique needs.  We assess you against the Standard, identify the gaps and what's needed to fill them.  We plan, agree a timeframe and give you expert guidance.

And you can be sure that you won't 'fail' the audit.  Not one of our clients has. Ever.

ISO 9001 Certification Consulting Services

1. Gap Analysis and Business System Review

What we do:  Review your current business management systems, spending up to a day or more with you, and assessing you against the ISO 9001 Standard.  You will get a clear, written report that summarises your status, tells you which ISO 9001 requirements you meet (and which you don't), how big your gaps are, and list the tasks needed to reach the ISO 9001 benchmark.  All in plain, user-friendly English.

This is very useful when you don't know 'how big this ISO thing is', or you want an  assessment of your current position by an expert ISO 9001 consultant and registered auditor. Contact us for a quote and availability.  Want to do it yourself?  See here.

2. ISO 9001 Certification

While every client and project is unique, ISO certification consulting assignments often fit into one of these broad categories:

Silver:  You want to do most of the work yourself, but you need an experienced guide to advise and show you the quickest route. 
What we do: Analyse your current gaps, and help you plan.  Check in with you at agreed intervals (meetings/email and/or phone) to review progress & keep you on track.  Advise, give practical solutions to problems, review documents.  Do some/all of your internal audits.
Cost: lowest. (For an even lower cost option, see our DIY Pack)

Gold:  You lack resources or time.  You want to get there quickly, and need an experienced consultant to make sure you do.  
What we do: a Gap Analysis and a plan, and agree the tasks. We do some/all of your documentation, provide templates, examples, etc. and make it happen, with periodic check-ins to review progress.  Suggest solutions, resolve problems and remove blockages where required, and do your internal audits. But it's still your system, as we coach you throughout.
Cost:  medium.

Platinum:  No resources, even less time: you just need that certificate.
What we do: Almost everything, supply resources required, translating your input into what's required.
Cost: highest.  Note, however, we only very rarely agree to provide this service in particular circumstances, because mostly a 'turnkey solution' will not be effective.  Because it has to be your quality management system, not someone else's.

What you will get (and what you won't) 

• Your system will be practical and useful.  It will suit the way you work, support your business and need minimum maintenance. 
• You'll know what you have to do, and why. 
• Your 'quality documents' - quality manual, procedures and others won't just meet ISO requirements, but will also be clear, short and useful .  
• You will get the gain without the pain, because we will work to understand your unique business and needs, and help solve your problem.
• You won't get bureaucracy, reams of paperwork, time-wasting, non value-adding activities or incomprehensible quality-speak.  

Naturally you'll avoid all the most common mistakes people make with ISO 9001.
