How ISO 9001 benefit to school or academy

Traditionally, ISO 9001 brings great benefits to an organization and its customers. But, what about school or academy?

In fact, ISO 9001 can help the school, students and their future employers reap the ultimate benefits.

ISO 9001 creates a workforce development system that is accountable, cost-effective, and addresses continual improvement. It also creates a quality mindset among the students. When these students go into the work place, they already understand the importance of quality standards, which provides a significant advantage to their employers and perpetuates the quality process.

There are several state and federal mandates that oversee performance accountability and recognize the need for continuous improvement in education. ISO 9001 addresses accountability and continuous improvement. It also provides the structure to create a quality policy and quality objectives.

Schools which have completed registration to ISO 9001 have found numerous benefits. They have realized increased community awareness and appreciation of the education they are providing. Local employers have applauded their efforts and have taken a greater interest in the development of programs with the schools and, most importantly, a greater interest in their students.

In addition, the schools also noted increased operational efficiency, open lines of communication, empowerment of staff members to recommend and implement change, better documentation of methods and responsibilities, and consistency of process, and enhanced communication among their employees.
