ISO/IWA 2 – International Workshop Agreement – Quality Management Systems – Guidelines for the Application of ISO 9001 in Education

Further details

The IWA 2 Guide Standard helps educational institutions design and implement an ISO 9001 quality management system tailored to the specific conditions and characteristics of such institutions.

The quality management system can be used to control all processes that directly or indirectly affect the educational services that can be provided to ensure that the services provided meet the needs and expectations of the learners and legal authorities.

Implementing the IWA 2 quality management system in an educational center has led to a systematic approach in the organization to identify and analyze the needs and expectations of customers, based on which the educational and training programs of the institute are designed and presented.
