Testimonials

“Without a doubt the best training I had in years. It is not so much the deep knowledge of ISO standards, compliance and anti-bribery management systems. The real value lies in the experience the Austrian Standards team brings in conducting audits across industries, next to their own hands-on operational line-management experience. I also valued the interaction with the other participants. It made the training lively and gave everyone the opportunity to learn from each other’s experiences and insights.”

“The workshop was far more interactive and practice-oriented than expected, offering valuable opportunities for experience-sharing and in-depth discussion. The real-life examples and open dialogue made the content highly relevant and immediately applicable.”
