How it works
Bring your questions into the learning. Ask Sterling about the expert engagement options for your chosen course when you enrol.
Discuss expert accessRecords for your audit
ISO management system standards require the people who work for you to be aware of the policy, their own contribution and the consequences of not following the system, and to be competent for their role. Sterling Academy training builds that awareness in every learner and gives you the evidence your auditor will ask for: who was trained, on what and when, their final exam result, and a verifiable certificate that anyone can check online. Your client administrator can download your team's records at any time.
