Build practical capability across Quality, Environmental and OH&S management systems

With more than 90% of management system certifications in Australia falling within Quality, Environmental or OH&S, an integrated approach offers a more efficient way to manage processes, reduce duplication, and simplify audit activities across your organisation.

Our 3-day Integrated Management Systems (IMS) course gives you a clear, practical understanding of how the three core ISO standards, ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental), and ISO 45001 (OH&S), work individually and as a connected system. The focus is on how these standards align, how their shared structure supports a more cohesive approach, and how organisations can manage them together through a risk-based framework.

For those stepping into auditing, our 5-day Integrated Management Systems Lead Auditor course builds on this, showing you how to plan, conduct, and report on audits in line with ISO 19011, with a focus on delivering audits that go beyond compliance and highlight real improvement opportunities.

Our training courses are internationally recognised by Exemplar Global, and our Lead Auditor courses include the nationally recognised BSBSS00128 Lead Auditor Skill Set.

What is IMS training?

IMS training provides an understanding of how multiple management systems can be brought together into a unified framework. Rather than managing quality, environment, and OH&S as separate systems, this training shows how they can work together more practically and efficiently.
These courses cover the requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001, while also helping participants understand the common clauses, structure, and risk-based thinking that link the standards together.

What are the benefits of an IMS course?

This training supports a more structured and efficient approach to managing multiple systems by bringing them together into a coordinated framework. It helps reduce duplication, strengthen consistency across processes, and improve organisational risk by aligning activities with the requirements of multiple standards.
You’ll develop the capability to integrate systems in a way that supports clearer decision-making, stronger oversight and more effective day-to-day operations. A continued focus on improvement also helps organisations maintain momentum and adapt to changing requirements over time.

What is IMS Lead Auditor training?

Our IMS Lead Auditor training teaches you how to audit an organisation’s management system in accordance with ISO 19011:2018. The training equips you to evaluate how well these systems work together, ensuring they meet required standards, and provide objective evidence of compliance. After successful completion of the course, you’ll be able to conduct internal audits that add value by identifying improvements and ensuring compliance with multiple management standards.

What does certification mean?

Certification means an organisation has a management system in place that meets internationally recognised standards and has been independently assessed by an accredited third-party certification body.
This certification demonstrates that an organisation is committed to continual improvement and complies with the requirements of the relevant standards across multiple areas of its business. It assures customers, stakeholders, and regulators that the organisation operates effectively and responsibly across different domains.

What are the critical elements of an IMS?

The core elements of an IMS focus on consistency, alignment, and continual improvement. Processes are planned, implemented, and reviewed in a structured way, creating a clear and repeatable approach across the organisation.
Standardisation supports consistency across teams, while integration brings different systems together so they operate as one rather than in isolation. This reduces duplication, improves visibility, and strengthens overall performance.
A strong IMS also supports organisational efficiency, helping teams respond to change and refine how they work over time. The result is a more streamlined, coordinated way of managing operations without unnecessary complexity.

What our students say about our courses

“The virtual classroom coupled with an enthusiastic trainer made the course easy to run through and as good as any face-to-face courses I have ever attended.”

“Honestly thought it was gonna be boring. I was very wrong! Very engaging and informative. Loved all 5 days and will be back for more courses!”

“Let’s be honest – ISO standards aren’t exactly edge-of-your-seat material. But this course proved that with the right coach, even clauses and compliance can be compelling! Packed with real-world examples, well-paced sessions, and just the right amount of workshops, it was surprisingly enjoyable. Highly recommended!”

“It was clearly evident that the lead auditor trainer had significant industry-related experience in auditing. He was able to keep the class fully engaged with personal interaction and reinforce learnings. Getting full copies of the standards was amazing, the catering and the training location in Brisbane was perfect.”

“The trainer’s experience and real-life examples gave great context to the course material. The 5 days allowed the material to be digested in a way that was not overwhelming. I’d definitely recommend the course to others.”
