Exemplar Global has issued guidance for certified Training Providers on transitioning training and competency programs to the revised ISO 9001:2026 and ISO 14001:2026 standards.

The guidance establishes a structured transition process for training providers as the revised standards are introduced.

Key Highlights

• ISO 14001:2026 — Training providers have a three-year phase-out period for training based on the previous edition.
• TPECS Providers — Training and assessment materials must be updated to meet the applicable revised competency-unit requirements, followed by the required self-declaration process.
• RTP Providers — Training must align with the new edition of the applicable standard.
• ISO 9001:2026 — Exemplar Global is establishing a similar transition process, including arrangements for the updated Quality Management competency unit.
• Transition Training — Providers in good standing may offer applicable transition training in accordance with Exemplar Global's requirements.

What this means for organizations and professionals:
Organizations, auditors, consultants and training professionals should begin preparing for the revised standards and ensure that relevant training, competency and certification activities remain aligned with the applicable Exemplar Global transition requirements.
