ISO 9001:2000
There are many quality assurance programs in existence, but the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is the world's largest developer of quality assurance standards, and ISO Certification is recognised worldwide as a hallmark of professionalism and commitment to quality. ISO recommendations have been adopted by business organizations of all types, including governments and other regulatory bodies, and ISO Certification is ONLY awarded to those organisations who meet the rigorous assessment standards...
Limperts Academy of Design is the first education and training organisation to achieve ISO 9001:2000 Certification. Quality has been defined as, “the ability to produce the same results consistently, to meet customer requirements”, and we have applied the techniques that the most successful businesses use, to develop a unique set of systems for delivering our education programs. It works, and our students consistently achieve the high standards required by the professional design industry, regardless of where they study. To maintain ISO certification, every organisation must undergo rigorous inspections and we are independently audited on an annual basis to ensure that our Quality Assurance Program is adhered to and that we continue to fulfil our promises.
