Overview

What is ISO 9001?

Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an ISO 9001 Lead Implementer do?

An ISO 9001 Lead Implementer designs, deploys and manages a Quality Management System (QMS) that conforms to ISO 9001:2015 — running the gap analysis, scoping the system, building documentation and controls and preparing for certification.

What is the difference between ISO 9001 Lead Auditor and Lead Implementer?

A Lead Auditor checks whether a QMS conforms to the standard; a Lead Implementer builds and runs the QMS in the first place. Many professionals eventually hold both.

What are the prerequisites for the ISO 9001 Lead Implementer course?

No formal prerequisites apply, but Foundation-level knowledge of ISO 9001 is recommended so you can focus on implementation rather than basics.

How long does it take to implement a QMS?

Most organizations implement an ISO 9001 QMS in three to six months. The Lead Implementer course walks you through gap analysis, process mapping, documented-information design, internal audit and management review.
