ISO 13485 Training Common Questions

Do I need to be employed in the medical devices sector to take one of these couses?

No, but if you're between jobs or planning to embark on a career in the sector, evidence of appropriate training would be a commendable asset. Even if the lab you're hoping to work for isn't ISO certified, high-quality ISO 13485 training is still recommended due to its coverage of risk awareness, regulatory compliance, and current best practices

How closely aligned to ISO 13485 are these courses?

The International Organization for Standardization states that ISO 13485 is "intended for any organization involved in the design, production, installation, and servicing of medical devices and related services." In these respects, our ISO 13485 training aligns very well.

Each course has been designed, written, and tested by a team of professionals with a keen understanding of both the sector and the needs of learners who in many cases are taking the course as part of their company's bid for ISO 13485 compliance.

Who is your ISO 13485 Implementer Training course intended for?

ISO 13485 Implementer Training is ideal for staff who've been assigned a key role in implementing the standard at their laboratory or organization. The course is designed to ensure that learners:

  • Have a detailed understanding of ISO 13485 and the benefits that certification typically brings.
  • Understand the requirements of ISO 13485 and the documentation needed to satisfy them. This topic also teaches the preparation and maintenance of documentation.
  • Know how to go about implementing a Quality Management System for Medical Devices at their company. This part of the course also introduces the PDCA cycle and how it's used to foster a culture of continuous improvement, and covers the steps required to appoint a third-party auditor for the certification audit.

It's generally assumed that staff taking this course will have a "post implementation" role that involves helping to maintain the Quality Management System and manage its daily operation.

Could I share an ISO 13485 course?

Theoretically yes, and we're sure this happens from time to time. A pair of married learners, for example, might decide to share their login credentials and take turns at working through the training. Or perhaps the wife could complete a part of the course her husband is struggling with.

But on completion a certificate would only be issued to the learner in whose name the course is registered.
