How it works:
Gap Analysis
The first stage involves a full audit of your existing systems to find out which parts of the standard you are and are not meeting.
You will receive a full audit report and action plan to act as a road-map for the rest of the project as well as a fixed price for the whole process.
Filling the gaps and documentation
Using the audit report above we will work with you to fill the identified gaps in, as well as integrating your existing processes to make the system that is right for you and your team. This will involve creating, updating and integrating the necessary documentation.
Implementation & training
Once the system has been created, we will launch it with you and can even provide full training on the changes to the whole business.
Full Systems audit
Before you are audited by your chosen UKAS, we will conduct a full audit of the system to make sure we have covered all the bases, and provide further support to help close out any actions we raise.
Management Review
We can also provide guidance or even chair a full management review meeting to satisfy the requirements of the standard.
Accreditation audits
If you would like our support and guidance at your accreditation audits, we can be present and on hand to lend any help you need, and we will continue to do this for as many years as you need us.
The
COST
Prices start from £1200 + VAT determined through an initial FREE online or telephone consultation.
How
LONG?
Depending of the volume of work required, and the certification body's own time scale it can take as little as 4-6 months from start to finish.
