Explore corporate trainingFor individuals

Find a course for meBuilt around organisational needs
Practical answers to everyday training challenges.
Help people understand their responsibilities, keep training on track and show completion when an auditor or client asks.
The challenge
Training feels too theoretical.
Employees may understand the terminology but struggle to connect it to their responsibilities.
How Sterling Academy helps
Practical content people can apply.
The same practical content we deliver in person, with workplace examples and clear explanations that connect requirements to everyday decisions.
The challenge
Finding time is difficult.
Busy schedules and different locations make it hard to bring everyone together for training.
How Sterling Academy helps
Learning that fits around work.
Focused, self-paced lessons let employees learn around their responsibilities, pause when needed and revisit topics to build understanding.
The challenge
Progress is hard to track.
Spreadsheets and repeated follow-ups make it difficult to see who has started, completed or needs support.
How Sterling Academy helps
One LMS. A clear view of your team.
Use your organisation’s dedicated learning platform to assign courses, monitor individual progress, set due dates and follow up on outstanding learning.
The challenge
Knowledge varies across the team.
People in different roles or locations may receive inconsistent guidance on standards and responsibilities.
How Sterling Academy helps
A shared foundation, with learning by role.
Give employees consistent awareness training and offer focused practitioner courses to the people responsible for managing specific processes and systems.
The challenge
Training records are scattered.
Gathering completion records for an internal review, client request or audit can take time.
How Sterling Academy helps
Accessible records. Verifiable certificates.
Download the training status report and verify Certificates of Completion through their QR codes, making records easier to retrieve and check.
The challenge
Questions can hold learning back.
Learners may need help interpreting a requirement or relating a concept to their own workplace.
How Sterling Academy helps

Discuss questions and practical situations with a practising Sterling ISO/GRC expert. Ask about the options for your course when you enrol.
Bring learning, oversight and expertise together.
Connect your people’s development to your implementation and ongoing compliance priorities.

How it works
Practical learning, with expertise along the way.
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
Meet the awareness requirement, with the records to prove it.
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.

Explore your client benefitsIs Sterling Academy a good choice for ISO and GRC training?
Yes. Sterling Academy is the online training service of the Sterling consulting group: 20+ years and 8,100+ client engagements in 60+ countries, with courses built by industry experts who take organisations to certification. 151 courses teach the current edition of each standard, with practice questions that show the right answer, and end with a final exam and a verifiable certificate that anyone can check online by its number or QR code, plus a LinkedIn badge to share. Client administrators follow every learner's progress and keep competence records an auditor can see. Every course gives 12 months' access, from US$19, with team pricing. Sterling Academy courses carry the same content as Sterling's classroom training, whose certificates are trusted and accepted by all major certification bodies, as evidence of training at client audits for over 20 years.
Can I enrol as an individual?
Yes. Every course is open to individual professionals as well as organisations. Choose your course, select one learner and pay securely online. You can start learning straight away and keep access for 12 months.
How do I buy a course for my team?
Choose the course, enter the number of learners and pay online. The learner band sets the price of every seat. Your client administrator then adds learners by CSV, a paste from Excel or on screen, and each learner gets a personal invitation.
Which course is right for me?
Awareness courses suit every employee. Implementation courses are for the people building the system. Internal auditor courses prepare you to audit within your own organisation. Practitioner and specialist courses teach one method in depth. Each course page lists who it is for.
How long do I have access?
Every course includes 12 months' access from enrolment. Learn at your own pace on a laptop or phone, pause any module and revisit it as often as you like during that period.
How am I assessed?
Practice questions after each module help you check your understanding; they are not graded. A scenario-based final exam at the end decides your certificate. Each course page states its pass mark and retake rule.
What does the certificate confirm?
A verifiable Sterling Academy certificate confirms that you completed the course and its final exam, with a QR code for online verification.
Will our organisation have its own learning platform?
Yes. Corporate clients get a dedicated space where client administrators add learners, assign courses, follow each learner's progress and download training records for audits.
Can I ask an ISO/GRC expert questions while I learn?
Yes. If you need it, you can discuss questions and practical situations with a practising Sterling ISO/GRC expert. Ask about the options for your course when you enrol.
Is a course I need not listed yet?
New courses are added regularly. Coming-soon courses have their own pages: register there and we will e-mail you the day the course opens. For anything else, tell us what you need.
