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 2010, a total of thirteen individual courses will be run.

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 for 2010 will be organized as part of three dedicated ISO Secretaries' Weeks.
