Why a consultancy runs an academy.

Most training teaches what a standard says. Our consultants see every week what it takes to make a standard work: in factories, laboratories, hospitals, banks, software companies and BPOs. That experience is what goes into every course: real situations, the mistakes we see most often, and what an auditor will ask to see.

Where we work.

Sterling serves clients across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa, the Americas and Australia, with offices in the United States, the United Arab Emirates, India, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and South Africa, among others.
