FAQs

What is ISO 9001?

ISO 9001 is the internationally recognised quality management standard designed to help organisations consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements. It provides a structured framework for establishing effective quality management systems that enhance customer satisfaction, support continual improvement, and drive consistent business performance.

By adopting the ISO 9001 quality management systems framework, organisations can improve processes, reduce errors, manage risk more effectively, and build confidence with customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders. With over one million organisations certified worldwide, ISO 9001 remains the most widely adopted quality management standard globally.

Which Quality Management Systems training course suits you best?

If you want to learn how to conduct an audit of a quality management system, our 4-day Quality Management Systems Lead Auditor course is ideal for you. This course gives you the knowledge to get the most out of your audits, with a strong focus on risk management and the certification process. Upon successful completion, you will have the skills to audit a quality management system, a solid understanding of the ISO 9001 standard, and eligibility to become a registered external auditor with Exemplar Global.

Our 2-day Quality Management Systems course gives you a comprehensive understanding of the ISO 9001 standard. It awards the Exemplar Global unit of competency QM. Additional competencies for Environment and OH&S can be added.

Our 1-day Understanding ISO 9001 course gives you knowledge of the ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems standard. There is no unit of competency awarded with this training. If you require the unit of competency, you need to attend the 2- or 4-day course.

We offer the Nationally Recognised BSBSS00128 Lead Auditor Skill Set as part of all our management systems lead auditor courses.

Do you offer foundation-level courses?

If you want a basic understanding of the ISO management systems standards, our eLearns in Introduction to ISO 9001, Introduction to ISO 14001, and Introduction to ISO 45001 might be for you.

If you’re looking for foundation-level auditing skills, be sure to check out our eLearns in Audit Interview Skills and Report Writing Fundamentals.

Our eLearns are self-paced, take around 45-minutes to complete, and are developed by RTP subject matter experts.

What does ISO 9001 focus on in practice?

ISO 9001 focuses on how an organisation operates in practice, including the external and internal factors that affect performance. This involves reviewing processes, roles, resources, and risks that may impact the quality of products or services.

How does my organisation benefit from ISO 9001?

ISO 9001 benefits your organisation by improving consistency, reducing errors, and focusing on the processes needed to enhance customer satisfaction. Training shows how to monitor performance, manage nonconformities, and use customer feedback to drive practical improvements.

Over time, this structured approach improves responsiveness and communication across the business. As systems mature, organisations are better positioned to not only meet requirements but to exceed customer expectations through reliable processes, clearer accountability, and ongoing improvement.

Is ISO 9001 relevant to my industry?

Yes. As the world’s most widely recognised quality management standard, ISO 9001 is designed to be flexible and applicable across a wide range of industry sectors. It is used by organisations in manufacturing, construction, healthcare, education, government, logistics, and professional services, among others.

Are Risk Training Professionals’ ISO 9001 courses nationally and internationally recognised?

Yes. As an Exemplar Global certified TPECS provider, our auditing and management systems training is internationally recognised. We’re also a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) (RTO Code: 46539), and offer nationally recognised units of competency in the BSBSS00128 Lead Auditor Skill Set in our Quality Management Systems Lead Auditor course.

Is ISO 9001 training and certification the same thing?

No, they are not. ISO 9001 training builds individual knowledge and skills to understand, implement, or audit the ISO 9001 standard. It results in a personal certificate of completion or recognised competency, such as Internal Auditor or Lead Auditor credentials.

ISO 9001 certification is a formal, independent assessment of an organisation’s quality management system. It is carried out by an accredited certification body to confirm the system meets the requirements of ISO 9001:2015.

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.”
