What is ISO 29993:2017?
ISO 29993:2017 is an internationally recognised standard for learning services outside formal education. It provides organisations with a clear and structured framework to design, deliver, assess, and continually improve high-quality learning experiences. ISO 29993 certification ensures that your learning services are effective, consistent, transparent, and aligned with learner needs and organisational objectives.
Companies and institutions that achieve ISO 29993, and implement a robust learning service management system, become more credible and learner-focused. They are better equipped to deliver measurable learning outcomes, enhance training quality, and ensure a consistent learning experience across all formats—whether classroom, online, or blended. This builds learner trust, strengthens your reputation, and supports long-term growth in the education and training sector.
