Management System Core Training Modules
Foundational modules covering the principles, methods, and practices common to all ISO-aligned management systems
Overview
Overview
Overview
What these modules are designed for
These modules provide the shared foundations that underpin effective management systems across all domains. They are designed for professionals working with ISO-aligned management systems in practice — including management system owners, auditors, and senior leaders with governance or oversight responsibilities.
The focus is on universal principles that apply regardless of the specific standard. This includes understanding organisational context, applying risk-based thinking, designing coherent governance structures, managing documented information, evaluating performance, and driving continual improvement.
The core modules also include domain-agnostic audit foundations that address management system auditing practices common to all ISO standards, such as audit principles, evidence evaluation, sampling, nonconformity handling, reporting, and follow-up.
The modules are deliberately standard-agnostic and apply across quality, information security, environmental management, business continuity, data protection, artificial intelligence governance, and integrated management systems.

How these modules fit into professional tracks
Management system core modules form the backbone of all Halderstone professional tracks. They establish a shared conceptual and methodological baseline before participants move into domain-specific specialisation.
For auditor tracks, this includes common audit foundations that apply across all management system standards.
Modules completed as part of one track are recognised across other tracks. This avoids duplication, respects prior learning, and enables efficient progression into additional roles or domains — for example, moving from a manager track into an auditor track, or from one management system domain into another.
The modules can also be taken independently to build foundational competence or to refresh existing knowledge.
