About ISO 21001
ISO 21001 specifies requirements for a management system for educational organizations (EOMS) when such an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to support the acquisition and development of competence through teaching, learning or research, and aims to enhance the satisfaction of learners, other beneficiaries and staff.
Innovative Quality Consultancy helps schools, colleges, universities, training institutes and e-learning providers implement an EOMS that places learners at the centre, defines educational processes clearly and demonstrates quality to accreditation bodies, parents and students.
