Questions
ISO 21001 questions
What is ISO 21001?
ISO 21001:2018 is the international standard for managing educational organisations. It helps a school or college plan teaching, listen to learners and parents, support every learner’s needs and keep improving year after year.
What is the difference between ISO 21001 and ISO 9001?
Both share the same structure. ISO 9001 is written for any organisation, while ISO 21001 is written for education: it adds requirements on learners, curriculum, assessment, teaching staff and learners with special needs. Many schools in Nepal choose ISO 21001 for exactly that reason.
Can a small school or Montessori get ISO 21001 certified?
Yes. ISO 21001 works for any size and any curriculum, from a Montessori with a few teachers to a large campus. The audit is planned around the size of your institution, so smaller schools have a shorter audit.
How does ISO 21001 help with parents and admissions?
It shows parents that the school follows an internationally recognised system for teaching, safety and communication, which builds trust and helps the school stand out during admissions.
How much does ISO 21001 certification cost in Nepal?
The fee depends on the number of employees, sites and how complex your work is. You get a fixed quotation in writing before anything starts, with no hidden charges for the certification audit.
How long is a ISO 21001 certificate valid?
Three years. A short surveillance audit takes place every year to keep the certificate active, followed by a recertification audit in the third year.
