Lead Effective Supply Chain Security Audits

The training is designed to provide a deep understanding of ISO 28000 requirements, their interpretation, and application across multiple industries, including maritime, pharmaceutical and logistics environments.

Course Highlights

QMII’s ISO 22301 training focuses on:
