We’re here to support our clients as much as we can, whenever we can, whether they’re focusing on understanding the basics to stay compliant, strengthening their auditing credibility, or driving lead audits to prepare for certification.

 

DQS Academy is all about putting our customers first; it’s one of our primary core values, along with acting with integrity and taking responsibility for the impact we create. This collaboration with PECB combines their global expertise with our local knowledge, allowing us to offer even more relevant and high-quality training.
