What about the cost?
We have never inflated our fees with unnecessary costs, so what you pay for in your certification audit is the number of days needed to audit your operations. It’s individual for each company, depending on your size, operational complexity, and the standards you are looking to get certified to.
But the good news is that because our auditors understand your operations, and how the language services industry works, they are able to incorporate the audits for ISO 9001, 17100 and 18587 requirements into much less time than doing the audits separately – which saves you a pretty penny.
