ISO 9001 LI · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The PECB Certified ISO 9001 Lead Implementer credential is aimed at professionals who establish, implement, maintain and continually improve a quality management system (QMS) based on ISO 9001. PECB's course is designed for managers and personnel responsible for QMS implementation or improvement, project managers and implementation team members, quality and customer-requirement owners, consultants supporting certification preparation, and professionals who want in-depth ISO 9001 knowledge. The exam covers seven competency domains, from fundamental QMS principles and initiation through planning, implementation, monitoring and measurement, continual improvement, and preparation for a certification audit. The course uses PECB's IMS2 Methodology and combines requirements explanations with implementation examples, practical exercises, case scenarios and quizzes whose structure mirrors the exam.
