Description
This self-paced online course provides a practical and detailed roadmap for implementing and auditing an Integrated ISO Management System (IMS) that combines ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental), and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety). Built on the shared High-Level Structure (Annex SL), the course teaches participants how to align policies, procedures, documentation, and audits into one efficient system, reducing duplication and simplifying compliance. Whether you're starting from scratch or improving an existing IMS, this course provides the structured knowledge needed for effective integration.

Participants will gain step-by-step guidance on planning IMS implementation—starting from gap analysis and context review to process documentation, risk assessment, internal audits, and management reviews. The course draws on real-world examples and case studies from SMEs and multinational corporations, offering insights into challenges, best practices, and cost-effective solutions. Interactive modules and downloadable tools such as templates, audit checklists, and integration guides support practical application throughout.

A significant focus is placed on integrated internal auditing. Learners will explore how to conduct clause-by-clause audits that address all three standards simultaneously, evaluate risk-based thinking, identify nonconformities, and guide continual improvement initiatives. You will also understand how to work with certification bodies, prepare for IMS certification, and maintain system effectiveness over time.

Whether you're a quality professional, safety officer, environmental manager, or aspiring ISO consultant, this course will provide the technical and strategic skills to build, manage, and audit an IMS that enhances performance, ensures compliance, and fosters sustainable organizational growth. Upon completion, learners will be equipped to lead IMS integration projects, facilitate internal audits, and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement.

The course consists ofFREE downloadable materials as examples and for practical use.
