We successfully participated in the RAB pilot project for ISO 9000 Lead Auditor Training in 1993 and the ISO 14001 Lead Auditor Training in 1996. No organization has been doing RAB/RABQSA Certified Lead Auditor Training longer than AQS Management Systems.Established in 1989, we have grown to offer a full range of innovative training and consulting services to industry, government, non-profit, and service in areas of Quality, Environment, and Occupational Health and Safety. Our full time staff and regional technical experts are fully qualified to provide the support you need. We have never had a client who failed an audit where we provided direct consulting support.What We DoOur primary focus is to provide timely, cost-effective advice and support to organizations who intend to use their completed management system to generate profit and reduce risks for their organization. In addition to achieving successful registration, we work with our clients to achieve improved customer satisfaction, improved internal performance, and efficient operations.Our QualificationsThe AQS skill set includes trainers and consultants with technical expertise in:About Us• Manufacturing• Service• Waste Water Treatment• Government• Automotive• Aerospace• Food• Occupational Health and Safety• Health Care• Geology• Air Pollution• HACCP• Medical Device• Agribusiness• Resource Management• Energy Management• Pollution Prevention• Oil and Gas• Food Safety• PS Prep/Organizational ResilienceProject SupportWhat Makes Our Consulting Approach Unique AQS’s time-tested consulting approach is truly unique in our industry. Unlike many consulting organizations that work to fit an organization into ISO, we will help you and your team to integrate ISO into the framework of your organization. This approach ensures that you have only one system to manage; your business. With the help of our experienced consultants you will never have to manage ISO as a separate set of requirements that fall outside your business processes.While most consultants understand the “rules,” and many of the best consultants understand how to successfully apply the “rules,” AQS Management Systems distinguishes its consulting projects by adding one critical component – we understand when the “rules” apply. Our no-nonsense approach to consulting achieves registration and performance results.Our Commitment To YouWhether you need a full time project manager or a “jump start” for your do-it-yourself project, our consulting/training team will invest the time to work with you to ensure the service we provide meets your needs for cost, delivery, performance, and results.
