Presentation of the project results
Changes are possible, the course content is updated regularly.
Once you have completed the course, you will be able to plan, implement, and maintain a quality management system and monitor its effectiveness. You’ll also gain professional expertise in applying the DIN EN ISO 9001 standard, planning internal quality audits, and making effective use of AI-powered tools in quality management.
After the course, you will also be able to take responsibility for the safe, ethical and effective use of AI in the company. You will evaluate applications from a technical perspective, develop internal guidelines and act as an interface between specialist departments, IT and data protection in order to use AI responsibly.
Upon completion of the course, you will have a basic understanding of the interrelated ISO standards and how they are integrated. You will be familiar with the fundamentals of management systems, have mastered the process-oriented approach, and understand the challenges involved in implementation. You will be able to plan, structure, and implement an IMS, effectively integrating various standards. You will also have expertise in auditing, certifying, and documenting IMS. With this knowledge, you can successfully introduce, audit, and continuously improve complex management systems within organizations. In doing so, you will also take into account the Harmonized Structure (HS) as the current framework for ISO management system standards.
This course is primarily aimed at management representatives from the areas of quality, environment, occupational health and safety and health management who wish to expand their area of activity.
Specialists in the field of quality management are in demand from both large and medium-sized companies in industry, trade and the service sector. After the course, you will be able to provide meaningful proof of your new skills with a TÜV Rheinland-certified qualification.
Additional knowledge in the strategic use of AI projects and your TÜV Rheinland-certified qualification will open up further career opportunities in the current job market.
Numerous requirements and standards also 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.
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.
