ISO 21001 Management systems for educational organisations (EOMS)
ISO 21001 is the international management system standard for educational organisations (EOMS). It helps schools and training providers meet learner needs and improve the quality of education. ICFC supports implementation, internal audits and training.

No grant found when checked - Non-grant engagement
We did not find this standard on the EDGE Standards list when we checked. Ask us about non-grant options or other schemes that may apply.
Impartiality
Impartiality comes first. Every engagement begins with a conflict-of-interest check. We keep consulting and auditing roles separate, and our auditors never audit, on behalf of a certification body, an organisation that ICFC has consulted on the same scope within the period set by that body.
Our certification role
We do not certify organisations ourselves; certificates are issued by accredited certification bodies or scheme owners.
How we help
Third-party audits
Third-party certification audits for ISO 21001 are delivered by our auditors on behalf of accredited certification bodies. The certificate is issued by the certification body, not by ICFC.
Second-party audits
Supplier and partner audits against ISO 21001 on behalf of your organisation, with clear findings you can act on.
Internal audits
First-party internal audits of your educational organisations management by experienced auditors, combinable with other standards in one integrated audit.
Funding
We explain which scheme, if any, applies and what it requires before you commit.
Non-grant
A fixed-scope engagement: gap assessment, documentation, implementation coaching, internal audit and management review, and support through the formal audit or assessment.
How we work
Practical, proportionate systems that your staff can run after we leave.
Classroom
Public and in-house classroom courses on ISO 21001: awareness, implementation and internal auditor levels.
Online LMS
Self-paced and live-online courses on the ICFC Digital LMS, with progress tracking and certificates of completion.
Funding
Funding depends on each course's approval status, shown on the course page in the LMS.
