IPAS UK Ltd
Where to start

From first conversation to certified — without the guesswork.

New to ISO certification? Here is a clear, practical path — from gap analysis to ongoing audit support — with realistic timelines and zero jargon.

  • Clear steps and realistic timescales
  • Systems built around how you work
  • Support through audits and beyond

Typical timeline 6–8 weeks to audit-ready from quotation

Not yet certified?

Start with clarity — not complexity.

From the moment you enquire we keep things clear, structured and tailored to your business — so the system you end up with works in practice and not just on paper.

  • A no-nonsense, staged approach
  • Documentation that matches real operations
  • Knowledge transfer so your team owns the system long-term

Already certified?

Maintain, improve, and stay audit-ready.

If you already hold certification we can support surveillance audits, internal auditing, training refreshers, and tightening management systems that have drifted over time.

  • Pre-audit gap reviews
  • Internal audit programmes and reports
  • Refresher training for new and existing staff

Your roadmap

First steps to becoming certified.

A clear, structured process designed to make the road to certification smooth and stress-free.

1

Initial consultation (free & no obligation)

A friendly, no-pressure conversation to understand your organisation, goals and the standard(s) you are targeting. We explain what is involved and outline the best route forward.

2

Gap analysis & proposal

If needed, we assess your current processes against the standard. You get a clear action plan, realistic timescales, and a transparent proposal with a dedicated consultant assigned.

3

System development & training

We help build or refine your management system: documentation, policies, procedures and practical training — integrated into day-to-day operations rather than tick-box paperwork.

4

Internal audit & readiness check

Before certification, we audit the system to confirm it is working, check compliance, and recommend any final improvements so you feel confident going into the external audit.

5

Certification support

We support you through certification by helping you choose an accredited certification body, liaising where needed, and helping you respond quickly to any findings.

6

Ongoing support

After certification, we help you maintain and improve the system long-term — annual audit support, reviews, and updates as your business evolves.
