Introduction of ISO standards at FORUM Institut
The introduction and implementation of ISO standards is a process subject to many requirements. We made a conscious decision to take this route so that our participants can benefit from the inherent high quality standards. Structured and transparent processes, continuous improvement processes and an optimised learning environment are but a few of the benefits of implementing the ISO standards.
We opted for a combination of the two ISO standards to cover both compliance with quality standards and the specific requirements for the education sector. This enables us to harness the many years’ experience in process optimisation and continuous improvement processes afforded by the ISO 9001 standard. However, while ISO 9001:2015 is more based on generic products, our focus is firmly on people wishing to further their education. Since ISO 21001:2018 also does just that, it is the perfect solution for us. This standard focuses on the learner and, consequently, all processes are geared to meet learners’ needs.
While conducting the external audit for our ISO certification, the auditor was particularly impressed by our first-class customer relationship management. She was pleased to note that our corporate planning is excellent and that we focus on continuously expanding customer networks. Clear adherence to processes in all areas reflects our high quality standards, while our fault management is customer-friendly and in full compliance with the requirements.
Successful and sustainable customer relationships are a top priority at all levels of the organisation. We are delighted that our twofold certification attests to our high quality standards and our clear adherence to established processes.
