In a bid to continually enhance organizational efficiency and ensure compliance with international standards, a comprehensive six-day ISO training program was conducted by the Quality Assurance Office in partnership with TÜV Rheinland from March 13 to March 20, 2024, at the Villa Caceres Hotel, Naga City.
The training encompassed various facets of Quality Management Systems (QMS), Environmental Management Systems (EMS), and Educational Organizations Management Systems (EOMS).
The training commenced on March 13 with a focus on ISO 9001:2015, the standard for Quality Management Systems. The day-long session, led by esteemed speaker Dr. Jone Rechie L. Gigayon, provided participants with a thorough understanding of QMS principles and awareness.
Subsequent days delved into Environmental Management Systems, with March 14 dedicated to ISO 14001:2015 awareness training. Attendees received insights into EMS requirements and best practices under the guidance of Dr. Gigayon. March 15 saw an in-depth exploration of ISO 21001:2018, which addresses the unique needs of educational organizations in managing their operations effectively.
Transitioning from awareness to practical implementation, the latter half of the training, from March 18 to March 20, was spearheaded by Mr. Allan R. Topacio. March 18 was dedicated to documentation procedures for ISO 9001:2015 QMS, ensuring participants grasped the intricacies of maintaining quality records.
Continuing the momentum, March 19 focused on documentation pertaining to ISO 14001:2015 EMS, equipping attendees with the skills necessary to develop and manage environmental management documentation.
The training culminated on March 20, with a specialized session on legal and other requirements concerning EMS. Participants were immersed in discussions surrounding legal frameworks, industry regulations, and compliance obligations, providing them with a holistic understanding of EMS implementation.
