Dates of regular training sessions

ISO Central Secretariat (ISO/CS) organizes training sessions, free of charge, for the staff of ISO members and professionals engaged in standards production activities each year in Geneva.

In order to provide training to ISO members hosting, or considering to host, secretariats of ISO/TCs and SCs – more specifically their appointed secretaries and their support staff – the majority of courses are organized as part of three dedicated ISO Secretaries' Weeks.

Each of the dedicated weeks will comprise 3 individual courses, in total spanning five days of training. Secretaries and their support staff are free to participate in one, two or three courses organized during a specific Secretaries' Week.

Please note: These dates have been recently modified.

ISO has limited places for these courses and will therefore apply a strict policy of prioritizing applicants for whom the training courses have been designed. The pre-registration form includes detailed information concerning the applicants that will be given priorty to participate in the ISO courses.

There will be no charge for participating in any of these training courses. Please note that no financial assistance will be granted to ISO trainees, who will have to find the finance for their own participation.

ISO Training Services look forward to assisting you in your standards development training requirements in 2013.

If you wish to attend any of these courses please complete the 2013 pre-registration form.
