A Happy and (most importantly!) Prosperous New Year to all our clients, old and new. At the beginning of each year we all tend to look forward to the business challenges ahead, and plan accordingly. SQMC is an IRCA-approved Training Organisation, and it is our intention – as always – to plan to provide YOU, our loyal clients, with the most up-to-date, cost-effective, Management Systems training available.

This month we celebrated our 10th Anniversary of our ‘freedom’ from the University of Stirling! We became SQMC “Limited” on January 5th, 1998, having started life as the “Scottish Quality Management Centre” there in 1990. We look forward to the next 10 years of progress, as your partners in modern training!

A new year, and another new Standard! If the following is of interest to your organisation, please contact us for details on how we can customise a training course to this standard, to suit your specific needs. (admin@SQMC.co.uk).
