This Autumn, Quality Professionals Are Stepping Up – Will You Join Them?

Autumn often feels like a season of action. After the summer lull, organisations turn their focus to delivering results, tackling backlogged projects, and laying the foundations for the new year. At GBS Corporate Training, we notice a familiar pattern every October. We see experienced quality managers who are ready to expand their influence beyond their immediate processes. We meet supply chain specialists eager to drive efficiency across the whole organisation. And we welcome professionals who want to be recognised for the impact they make on quality and performance. Many of these individuals come to us because they want more than just another course, they want internationally recognised qualifications that help them influence change, lead improvement initiatives, and take the next step in their careers. That’s why our CQI-accredited Quality Management Practitioner-level courses continue to attract ambitious professionals year after year. Completion of two Quality Professional training courses, alongside having demonstrable work experience, provides a route to gaining the recognised Chartered Quality Professional status (CQP).

This Autumn, Quality Professionals Are Stepping Up – Will You Join Them?

Building Capability to Lead Change

These courses are designed for people who already have some experience in quality but want to develop the deeper knowledge and confidence to guide their organisations through complex challenges, whether that’s managing management systems, improving supply chain resilience, or leading change programmes that stick.

Graduates of the programmes often tell us that what makes the difference is not just the technical content but the practical strategies for influencing stakeholders and communicating effectively at senior levels. That combination of know-how and credibility is what elevates their role from operational to strategic.

CQI Quality Management Practitioner Courses – Autumn 2025

All courses are delivered virtually via live interactive sessions (VILT), giving participants the chance to collaborate and learn from peers across sectors, without the need to travel.

Each programme is £1,250 + VAT per person, which includes CQI programme registration, full course materials, and the examination fee.

Here’s what’s coming up:

PT203 – Managing Management Systems: 15–17 October 2025
PT206 – Managing Supply Chains: 22–24 October 2025
PT209 – Managing and Influencing Stakeholders: 19–21 November 2025
PT204 – Managing Change and Continual Improvement: 24, 25 & 27 November 2025

Spaces are now limited on each course, and we’re seeing strong interest as organisations look to upskill teams ahead of 2026.
