Chloe - SEEC MM Ltd.,
Course - ISO 9001 Lead Implementer
With both my 2022 ISO 9001 audit prep-related training & the recently completed ISO 9001 audit prep refresher course; Dereck has helped me significantly with regards to gaining a new & practical perspective of the ISO 9001:2015 clauses & sections & how they apply to our business. Dereck has also helped me with both training courses --- to improve my ISO-related communications both with our company's employees and the external ISO Auditors .
