What is ISO 21001

ISO 21001:2018 focuses on the specific interaction between an educational organisation, the learner, customers and other relevant interested parties. It is a stand-alone management system standard, based on ISO 9001:2015 (without being a sector application), and aligned with other ISO management system standards through the application of the High Level Structure. ISO 21001:2018 provides a common management tool for organizations providing educational products and services capable of meeting learner and other customer requirements and needs. It aims to enhance satisfaction of learners, other customers, and personnel through the effective application of its EOMS, including processes for improvement of the system.
