Weeks 17–20Drawing on my experience conducting 175+ ISO 9001 audits, I perform a rigorous internal audit to identify any nonconformities before your certification audit. All findings are resolved with documented corrective actions.

Certification Audit & Pass
Weeks 21–24Your organization will be fully prepared for the official certification audit. I conduct a final mock audit and readiness review, then support you through the post certification audit as needed. The goal — and the guarantee — is to pass the audit with no major nonconformities and get ISO 9001 Certified.
