The ISO standards share one structure, and once staff see it the rest falls into place. The guidance walks the person leading the talk through each clause and the certification audit.

ISO Standards and ISO Certification Training Talk

A training talk on ISO standards and ISO certification for all staff - the shared structure of the management system standards, what each clause covers, and how to prepare for and follow up an external certification audit. The download gives you a one-page attendance record with the talk description already filled in, plus the full guidance document to run the talk from.

  • The common ISO management system standards and their shared structure
  • Clauses 1 to 3, and clauses 4 Context of the Organisation, 5 Leadership and 6 Planning
  • Clauses 7 Support, 8 Operation, 9 Performance Evaluation and 10 Improvement
  • ISO certification and the external certification audit
  • Preparing for the audit and the evidence the auditor will want to see
  • Audit follow-ups and audit top tips

Running the Talk

Read through the guidance beforehand, talk the points through with the team, then have everyone sign the record. Keep the signed record as evidence that the briefing took place and who received it.

Why Preparing for the Audit Is Covered

Staff are often asked to show how they work during a certification audit, and knowing what kind of evidence an auditor looks for makes that much easier. The talk covers preparation and follow-up so people can answer questions with confidence.

Adapting the Talk

Both files are fully editable, so add the standards you hold or are working towards, your certification audit dates and any tips from your own previous audits. Update the talk description if you cover extra points.

Keeping the Training Record

File the signed record with your training records, or log the talk against each attendee in a training matrix, so you can show who has been briefed and when.

Who Is It For?

All staff in an organisation that is working towards ISO certification or already holds it. It is most useful in the weeks before a certification or surveillance audit and at induction.

Delivering Talks Regularly

Short, regular talks keep the way the business works in front of people. Run this one alongside the other general training talks to build awareness one topic at a time.
