Why Awareness Training Matters

ISO and API standards require people to be aware of the policy, their contribution and the consequences of not following the system.
Smoother audits
Employees who understand the system answer auditors’ questions with confidence.
Fewer errors and incidents
People follow procedures when they understand why they matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is awareness training required by ISO standards?
Yes. ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and API Spec Q1/Q2 all require organisations to make sure people are aware of the policy, objectives, their contribution and the implications of not conforming. Awareness training is the most common way to meet this.
How long is an awareness session?
Standard awareness sessions run for one day. Top Management and Transition briefings run for half a day. Sessions can be shortened or split for shift workers.
Can you train our staff at our site in the GCC?
Yes. We deliver in-house sessions at client sites across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Iraq, or online.
Do participants receive a certificate?
Yes. Every participant receives a certificate of participation, which you can keep as training evidence for your audits.
