Why this training matters
ISO 9001:2026 keeps the familiar QMS structure but brings clearer expectations across quality culture and ethical behaviour, risks and opportunities, planning of changes, context and climate change, and management review.
This training is designed to help QMS auditors understand the practical meaning of the 2026 changes — and apply them confidently during audits. Not just a clause overview, but a focused guide to how you audit under the new requirements.
The key question is not only "what changed?" but "what should I now check during an audit?"
3FOLD Training · ISO 9001:2026 Update
Clause by clause
Major changes across all main ISO 9001 clauses, from context to improvement.
This training goes beyond explaining what organizations should update. It also focuses on what auditors should check when auditing against ISO 9001:2026.
Audit focus
Evidence focus
Ten modules in clause order, each following the same five-part pattern: what changed, the affected clauses, what it means in practice, what you do about it, and worked sample questions — building up to the final quiz.
Each module opens with a plain 2015-versus-2026 statement and a table showing the type of change: new requirement, restructure, or wording only.
Actions are written separately for QMS implementers and for auditors, so you know exactly what to check or update for that clause.
Two worked sample questions close every module. The 20-question final quiz needs 80% (16/20) to pass, with unlimited attempts.
After the training
Participants get 180 days of access to the 3FOLD LMS at 3foldlearn.com to work through the ten modules at their own pace, then sit a final quiz — 20 multiple-choice questions drawn from a larger bank, needing 80% (16/20) to pass. Attempts are unlimited and the highest grade counts.
Participants who complete the ten modules and pass the final quiz receive a Certificate of Completion from 3FOLD Training (PDF, issued immediately) — stating the course title, standard edition, and duration, for use as CPD evidence and as a record for your employer or certification body.
Important information
This training is independently delivered by 3FOLD Training to support auditors in understanding the ISO 9001:2026 changes. CQI and IRCA do not offer a separate certified transition course for this update; however, ATPs may provide update training for CPD purposes. Participants will receive a 3FOLD Certificate of Completion, without the CQI and IRCA Certified Course logo.
The training includes comprehensive learning materials that explain the key differences between ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 9001:2026. 3FOLD Training does not provide the official ISO 9001:2026 standard. Learners who require the official standard should obtain it separately from an authorised source. A copy of the 2026 standard is not required to attend this training.
Frequently Asked Questions
CQI IRCA certified QMS auditors updating to the 2026 edition, quality managers and management representatives planning their organisation's transition, internal auditors updating checklists and programmes, consultants, and anyone who trained on ISO 9001:2015 and wants to understand the differences. It assumes working knowledge of ISO 9001:2015.
No. This is not a full Lead Auditor course. It is a focused transition/update course for professionals who already understand ISO 9001:2015. If you have never attended a CQI IRCA certified QMS course, our ISO 9001:2026 QMS Lead Auditor course starting October 2026 is written for the new edition from the start.
No. This is not an auditor conversion course. It is a short transition course that explains the key changes between ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 9001:2026 and what auditors should focus on.
About 120 minutes: ten reading modules (roughly 100 minutes) followed by a 20-question final quiz (about 20 minutes). It is fully self-paced on the 3FOLD LMS, works on desktop, tablet or phone, and there is no video to sit through. Access is valid for 180 days from enrolment.
No. This is a CPD awareness course delivered by 3FOLD Training, a CQI IRCA Approved Training Partner, and not a CQI IRCA certified course. Unlike the 2008-to-2015 revision, CQI IRCA has not released a certified transition course for ISO 9001:2026; its position is that auditors update through CPD completed at an Approved Training Partner, which this course provides.
No. Since this is not a CQI and IRCA Certified course, the Certificate of Completion will not include the CQI and IRCA Certified Course logo.
Yes. Learners who already hold a CQI IRCA Certified ISO 9001:2015 QMS Lead Auditor course certificate can use this training as their ISO 9001:2026 evidence when applying for or maintaining QMS Auditor grade membership.
No. A copy of ISO 9001:2026 is not required to attend this training. The course provides learning materials that explain the key differences between the 2015 and 2026 versions. Learners who require the official standard should obtain it separately from an authorised source.
You will learn the key changes in ISO 9001:2026, including updates related to quality culture and ethical behaviour, risks and opportunities, planning of changes, context and climate change, externally provided processes, performance evaluation, management review, and continual improvement — plus a practical transition approach and a list of what you do not have to do.
Yes. Every module separates the actions for the QMS owner from what an auditor would look for, so it explains what auditors should focus on when auditing against ISO 9001:2026, including evidence to check and areas where weak evidence may appear.
One final quiz of 20 single-best-answer multiple-choice questions, drawn from a larger question bank. The pass mark is 80% (16 out of 20). Attempts are unlimited and the highest grade counts. Each module also has two unscored sample questions with worked answers.
Participants receive 180 days of access to the 3FOLD LMS from the date of registration, so the course can be completed at your own pace within that window. Most learners finish in a single sitting of about two hours.
A 3FOLD Training Certificate of Completion (PDF), issued immediately when you pass the final quiz. It states the course title, the standard edition, the duration and the date, and does not carry a CQI IRCA certified course logo.

ISO/FDIS 9001:2026 was issued in 2026, with the final standard published later in the year. Based on previous revisions, IAF is expected to set a three-year transition period from publication. Certificates to ISO 9001:2015 remain valid until the end of that period — confirm the exact deadline with your certification body once IAF publishes its arrangements.
Register for this focused 2-hour self-paced course and strengthen your understanding of the key QMS changes, practical implications, and auditor focus areas — with 180 days of LMS access to complete it in your own time.
