Issue 1 September 2017
Alpha Education Services is pleased to announce that we have been ISO 9001:2015 Certified, another one of our targets achieved. We therefore join a group our clients who have also reached this milestone through the implementation of AES Quality Management systems. Let me take this opportunity to introduce them to you.
On September 15, 2015, the ISO 9001:2015 standard was published, this means that certified organizations need to make the transition by 14 September 2018 to the new standard. Are you ready?
The most noticeable change to the standard is its new structure. ISO 9001:2015 now follows the same overall structure as other ISO management system standards (known as the High-Level Structure), making it easier for anyone using multiple management systems. Another major difference is the focus on risk-based thinking.
Alpha Education Services is committed to delivering a consulting, auditing and training service so that your ISO 9001:2015 certification, becomes a reality. Below is a list of our October courses.
