Quality Manager Track

Overview
The Quality Manager Track enables you to take responsibility for implementing as well as coordinating and managing a Quality Management System (QMS) based on ISO 9001.

Modular system
Reuse of modules across tracks
Previously completed modules are recognized, avoiding duplication when pursuing additional Halderstone tracks.
If you later decide to extend your competence to additional domains and ISO standards, you can earn additional manager credentials without repeating the common core. This allows you to build an integrated competence profile step by step with limited additional effort.
Two credentials with one track
Both credentials are awarded without expiry.
Registered credentials
In addition, track graduates can apply for a Registered credential for this role and discipline. It confirms capability in practice and ensures it remains current over time. Registered credentials require verified professional experience and periodic reassessment.
