Training module overview

Training module overview

Training module overview

Unclear inputs, inadequate reviews and weak traceability make product development inefficient and risk‑prone.

This training module explains how ISO 9001 design controls help teams plan design activities, define and validate inputs and outputs, and distinguish verification from validation. Participants see how to keep the development process agile while creating the evidence needed for conformity and market confidence. The module does not cover detailed technical methods; it concentrates on governance and control.

Applicable environments

This module applies to organisations implementing or operating a Quality Management System (QMS) in line with ISO 9001. It focuses on how the standard’s requirements are interpreted and applied in practice within real organisational contexts.

The content is relevant for organisations seeking certification as well as for those using ISO 9001 as a reference framework to structure responsibilities, processes, and controls in the quality management domain.

Target audience

Target audience

Target audience

  • People involved in designing, building, operating, or improving a QMS aligned with ISO 9001

  • Executives and department heads accountable for the effectiveness and performance of a QMS

  • Those responsible for processes, policies, IT systems, risks, and controls related to quality management

  • Auditors of ISO 9001 who want to deepen their understanding of management-side best practices (not audit technique)

Decision support

Is this module for you?

It is a good fit if you…

  • implement or maintain ISO 9001 design and development controls.

  • support product or engineering teams with governance, evidence, and traceability.

  • struggle to show consistent control over design inputs, reviews, and changes.

  • need clearer separation between design work and production handover.

  • want design control that supports development speed rather than slowing it down.

  • implement or maintain ISO 9001 design and development controls.

  • support product or engineering teams with governance, evidence, and traceability.

  • struggle to show consistent control over design inputs, reviews, and changes.

  • need clearer separation between design work and production handover.

  • want design control that supports development speed rather than slowing it down.

If most of the points above apply, this module is likely a good fit.

It may not be the best fit if you…

  • already operate a clear, consistently applied ISO 9001 design control process.

  • are not involved in governing or evidencing design and development activities.

  • focus primarily on service design, customer experience, or service delivery models.

  • are looking for engineering methods, innovation techniques, or product strategy.
