Testimonials
During my training in Standards and Certifications, I gained in-depth knowledge of ISO 9001, which enabled me to lead the implementation of a Quality Management System in my company. Thanks to this process, we achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification in just six months, improving the efficiency of our processes, reducing the costs of poor quality by 15%, and increasing customer satisfaction.
I applied the hydrodynamic principles I learned in the course to optimize the design of a racing catamaran, achieving a 12% reduction in drag and an 8% increase in top speed during tank tests. This validated my knowledge and contributed significantly to the team’s victory in the regional regatta.
I implemented a quality management system in accordance with the ISO 9001:2015 standard, achieving certification in 6 months, reducing non-conformities by 40% and increasing customer satisfaction by 20%.
“Thanks to this training in standards and certifications, I was able to successfully implement ISO 9001 in my company, reducing non-conformities by 30% and increasing customer satisfaction by 15% in just six months.”
