After completing the course, you will have an in-depth understanding of the most important ISO standards and their integration. You will know the basics of management systems, have mastered the process-oriented approach and understand the challenges of implementation. You will be able to plan, structure and implement an IMS, effectively integrating different standards. You also have skills in auditing, certification and documentation of IMS. With this knowledge, you will be able to successfully introduce, audit and continuously improve complex management systems in organizations.

The course is aimed at specialists and managers from production and service companies, public administration and operational management.

Numerous requirements and standards determine the everyday life of companies and make it difficult to reduce the internal administrative workload in order to achieve an increase in productivity and greater process efficiency. By creating an integrated management system (IMS), a standardized system can be used for different areas, thus reducing the complexity of processes and the internal administrative burden. Employees with the relevant expertise to set up such an IMS are in demand on the job market across all sectors in large and medium-sized companies.

Your meaningful certificate provides a detailed insight into the qualifications you have acquired and improves your career prospects.

Didactic concept

Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.
