LRQA's Consultant Network helps you to connect with organisations that need help, support and guidance when implementing and maintaining their management system. Often, certification to international standards is a prerequisite for doing business. It can improve your credibility with existing and potential clients, help enhance your business reputation and grow your client base and/or your supply chain.
LRQA understands that it may be difficult for some organisations to find dedicated resource with the time, knowledge and skills to implement a management system. This is where LRQA's Consultant Network can help.
Over the years, LRQA has built-up a network of consultants who have in-depth knowledge and experience of implementing management systems for relevant international standards within a wide range of market sectors.
We can put businesses in touch with a list of management system consultants who are proficient in most international standards. LRQA makes sure they are local, have the skills to implement the management system required by each client, and have previous experience of working in the relevant market sector.
How does it work?
Simply register to join the LRQA Consultant Network. As a member of the network, you can benefit from discounts from any public training course, updates on new and existing standards and be invited to networking opportunities and webinars. We will also refer your company contact details to inquiring clients looking for management systems consultancy.
To help potential and existing clients implement new systems, we will forward details of consultants who fit their criteria in terms of sector and standard experience. You can easily become a member of our Consultant Network by referring clients to us. To gain the benefits of membership, you will need to refer at least one organisation to us each year.
What does it cost to become a member?
Nothing, our Consultant Network is a free resource for independent management systems consultants.
What benefits will members receive?
LRQA's Registered Consultant status logo
All fully registered members of the Consultant Network have the option to receive a logo featuring a unique identifier number for use on their letterhead, website and other marketing collateral. LRQA is not permitted by our regulators to recommend the services of any specific consultant, and membership does not imply that LRQA represents, recommends or certify these consultants in anyway.
However, this logo enables organisations looking for a consultant to determine whether they have the right skills and knowledge to successfully implement and support them with their international management system standards.
Referral of contact details
Depending on specialism, sector experience and location, your consultancy's contact details are passed to organisations looking for help and support with their management system.
15 % Classroom Training discount for You and Your Clients
We understand that as a consultant you may want to enhance your management systems knowledge. As a member of our Consultant Network you will receive 15% off any LRQA classroom and virtual classroom courses (booking code required).
When helping clients with their management systems, it may be necessary to recommend attending a training course. As a member of our Consultant Network, you and your clients are eligible to receive a 15% discount from any LRQA public training course (booking code required).
Free access to webinars
We recognise that it is not always possible for you to attend our networking events, so we can provide you with access to our webinar updates on specific standard, certification or service modifications.
Networking events
To help you keep up-to-date with new & existing standards, we provide updates on current certification issues that may affect you and your clients and also provide you with an opportunity to network with your peers.
Readily available standards information
We are constantly producing value-added content on the standard revisions and new standard & services. Being a member of our Consultant Network enables you to have access to white papers and guidance documents via our website.
Personal point of contact
During business hours, we want to make it easy for you to speak directly to us whenever you need to. Having a personal point of contact enables you to have direct access to a member of our sales team who will be able to help with any queries or client enquiries.
Registered consultants
LRQA is not permitted by our regulators to recommend the services of any specific consultant. However, we understand that you want to have confidence in the consultant you have chosen to help and support you with your management systems. We therefore issue all fully registered members of the Consultant Network with a logo for those consultants who have successfully implemented certified management systems.
The Registered Consultant status logo does not and should not be used by the consultant to infer they are certified and/or recommended by LRQA. This logo may only be used by the consultant for as long as they remain a member of the LRQA Consultant Network.
