ISO 19443 Implementation & Lead Responsibility Course

The ISO 19443 Implementation & Lead Responsibility Course is a comprehensive, advanced-level training programme designed for organisations implementing ISO 19443:2018 within the nuclear supply chain. Unlike introductory awareness courses, this programme provides detailed clause interpretation, leadership expectations, implementation tools, and guidance on aligning processes with nuclear safety and quality requirements.

This course is particularly suited to internal auditors, quality managers and implementation leads who are responsible for planning, developing, assessing, or maintaining an ISO 19443-compliant Quality Management System (QMS). It supports auditors in understanding not only how to assess compliance, but how to apply nuclear-specific controls, ITNS requirements, graded approach thinking and supplier assurance principles within their own organisations.

The programme is registered with the Energy & Utility Skills Register (EUSR), providing nationally recognised evidence of industry-approved training quality and individual competence. EUSR registration is valued across the nuclear, utilities and infrastructure sectors as a credible mark of skills and compliance.

As active members of the Wales Nuclear Forum and Nuclear Industry Association (NIA), our training is aligned with UK nuclear supply chain expectations, regulatory direction and safety culture principles.
