La Consolacion College Bacolod is actively preparing for the ISO 21001 Educational Organizations Management Systems (EOMS) Certification with a comprehensive training program for internal auditors followed by an audit initiation.
On June 4, 2024, the Quality Assurance Unit of the college conducted an Internal Audit Training session for prospective internal auditors. The event, held in the Aves Conference Room, was aimed at enhancing the auditors’ knowledge and skills in internal procedures and fostering a culture of excellence and compliance within the organization.
The training program, led by Felix Adrian Dalida, the Quality Assurance Officer, covered key topics such as the objectives and procedures of internal audits, the ISO 21001:2018 checklist, and the tentative schedule for internal audits. “This training is
crucial as we strive to achieve the ISO 21001 EOMS Certification. It not only equips our auditors with the necessary skills but also ensures that our institution adheres to the highest standards of educational management,” said Dalida.
Following the training, the college dedicated a week to the Audit Initiation, wherein audit leaders were tasked to facilitate meetings with their respective teams and initiate the audits. The goals of the Audit Initiation included establishing initial contact with the auditees, confirming the authority to conduct the audits, providing information on the scope and methods, and acknowledging the scheduled dates and times of the internal audits.
Audit leaders and their teams were instructed to coordinate with the respective offices and ensure that the audits were conducted within the month of July if the initial schedules were not feasible.
The college administration
highlighted the importance of these activities in maintaining high standards and operational excellence, which are essential for achieving the ISO 21001 EOMS Certification.
La Consolacion College Bacolod’s commitment to continuous improvement and quality assurance is evident through these proactive measures, reinforcing its dedication to providing top-notch educational services to its stakeholders.
