The Vocational Training Charitable Trust (VTCT) is an organisation that specialises in vocational qualifications across a range of different sectors. Currently, their qualifications are delivered via over 2,000 approved centres across the globe, with more centres opening every month.

We recently worked with VTCT to help them achieve ISO 9001:2015 certification. They approached us because they wanted an improved quality management system to ensure their day-to-day operations would run smoothly.

After a 3-day audit. we can announce that VTCT have been awarded their ISO 9001:2015 certification with zero non-conformances raised. Here's what they had to say afterwards:

"We're proud to have achieved ISO 9001 certification with the help of NPT Management Systems. Neil gave us the confidence and assurance to implement our quality management system to the highest standard, as well as making the experience, overall, a positive one.

"His wealth of knowledge and ability to decipher the ISO standard helped us deliver a pragmatic and workable system that all of our employees understand. Neil's support to overcome challenges was critical to the success of our certification.

"Our centres and learners are at the heart of what we do, and this certification will help us continue to deliver a world-class service to them.

"We'd like to thank Neil for all his help during the audit, and for the many months beforehand. His personable style and support were invaluable to us."

In addition to our ISO certification services, we at NPT Management Systems also provide occasional training for businesses who want to gain a stronger understanding of ISO 9001 and quality management in general.

We recently conducted a 'Lunch & Learn' training session for a client here in the South of England. We were invited to go in and educate the company's employees about Quality Management & ISO 9001 - the company supplied the pizza, and more than 50 employees took part, making this the largest training session we have delivered to date.

NPT Management Systems provided a mixture of slides and interactive exercises that were designed to give those present a firm grasp of the subject matter. All of these learning materials were specifically tailored to the company.

If you would like to set up a quality management training session for your organisation, please call NPT Management Systems on 02380 659 867 to discuss your requirements.

But don't worry - NPT Management Systems are on hand to help. We are experienced at completing PQQs, and can work with you to fill in your pre-qualification questionnaires quickly and efficiently!

Although it's not something we tend to advertise on our website, we are more than happy to help you complete the necessary paperwork. Just give us a call on 02380 659 867 or send your enquiry to enquiries@nptmanagementsystems.co.uk today.

Based in Southampton, SpiralWeld Ltd provide specialist engineering services for a variety of different industries (including the energy, marine, chemical and defence sectors).

Last year, we at NPT Management Systems helped the SpiralWeld team to simplify their quality management system and transition to ISO 9001:2015 in a timely manner. More recently, we came to SpiralWeld's assistance again, helping them to successfully pass a surveillance audit - a crucial part of preserving your organisation's ISO-accredited status once the ISO 9001 certification has been achieved.

Here's what SpiralWeld's MD had to say about the assistance we've been providing:

"We at SpiralWeld Ltd were very impressed by the competence of NPT's friendly and supportive service. Everything required was completed in good time and to an excellent standard. We will be pleased to work with Neil at NPT for our future support needs."

- Greg Lindsell, Managing Director

Anchor Systems (International) Ltd based in West Sussex, England, is a company that supplies high-quality ground anchoring systems throughout the UK and many countries across Europe. Back in 2007, Anchor Systems implemented a Quality Management System (QMS) to help them achieve their business objectives but realised that it needed improvement, so they contacted us in 2015 to help. 

We assisted in the design and implementation of a new, easier-to-follow QMS that would make completing day-to-day operations more efficient and effective. We were pleased to see Anchor System's achieve the goal that they set out and was confident that they would become a more successful company as a result. 

However, as we helped improve their QMS in 2015, it was time for a surveillance audit to assess whether Anchor Systems were implementing the updated QMS. We are proud to announce that Anchor Systems passed their audit and have been recommended for ISO 9001:2015 re-certification, allowing them to continue their great work in providing exceptional products and services across the world as well as a creating a functional workplace environment. 

This is yet another successful milestone in our relationship with Anchor Systems, which can hopefully continue to grow.
