QMS2GO runs an eight-week ISO 9001 transition program for certified manufacturers with up to 50 employees that need a practical, structured way to move from ISO 9001:2015 to the upcoming 2026 edition without rebuilding their quality management system from the beginning. Each cohort is limited to 10 companies. The program is $14,400, with a payment option of 12 monthly installments of $1,200, and includes an eight-week transition-readiness money-back guarantee. One fully sponsored seat is available in every cohort for a qualified small manufacturer that would benefit from the program but cannot currently fund participation.
ISO 9001:2015 remains the current published edition. The revised standard has reached the Final Draft International Standard stage and is expected to replace ISO 9001:2015 in September 2026. ISO states that the revised edition is expected to present organizations with an opportunity to review and update their quality management systems so those systems continue to address organizational, customer, and stakeholder needs. Companies should not make unsupported changes based only on preliminary summaries — but they can begin preparing now by organizing their current QMS, identifying weak or outdated processes, confirming the 2024 climate-action amendment has been addressed, and assigning responsibility for the transition. That amendment currently applies to ISO 9001:2015 and is expected to be replaced when the new edition is issued.
The program begins with a structured review of your current ISO 9001:2015 quality management system. QMS2GO then helps you identify gaps, revise the affected processes and documentation, implement the changes in daily operations, train employees, and verify that the updated system is actually working. The final scope will be aligned with the published ISO 9001:2026 requirements and applicable certification-transition guidance once those requirements are formally issued.
Participating companies work through a structured weekly implementation schedule rather than receiving only a report, a template package, or a general training course. By the end of the program each company is expected to have assessed its current system against the new requirements, updated the affected QMS processes and documents, trained the relevant employees, generated evidence that the changes are being followed, completed or prepared for an internal audit, prepared management to review the transition, and established a clear path toward an independent transition audit.
A participating company must complete the required weekly assignments, attend required sessions, provide timely access to personnel and records, and implement the agreed actions. If QMS2GO does not complete the agreed transition scope and prepare the company's quality management system to enter an independent transition audit by the end of week eight, QMS2GO refunds the program fees paid and cancels any remaining scheduled installments. The guarantee applies to QMS2GO's implementation and transition-readiness commitment. It does not guarantee the decision of an independent certification body, and it does not remove the company's responsibility to maintain and operate its quality management system.
QMS2GO provides one fully sponsored seat in each 10-company cohort. Sponsored companies are selected on financial need, current ISO 9001 certification status, readiness to complete the eight-week program, availability of management and employees, and potential impact on customer retention, supplier qualification, or future contracts. Economic-development organizations, manufacturing associations, chambers of commerce, APEX Accelerators, Small Business Development Centers, prime contractors, lenders, and supplier-development programs may refer eligible companies.
ISO 9001-certified manufacturers with up to 50 employees that need to transition an existing quality management system rather than build a new one.
No. The preparation work — organizing documented information, closing known gaps, confirming the climate-action amendment is addressed, and naming a transition owner — is valid under ISO 9001:2015 today and carries directly into the new edition.
$14,400, with a payment option of 12 monthly installments of $1,200. One sponsored seat per cohort is fully funded by QMS2GO.
No. Certification decisions are made by an independent certification body. The program prepares your system and your evidence to enter that audit.
