Resources for additional standards

Detailed guides for these standards are being prepared.

Complade is not currently SCC-accredited for ISO/IEC 42001, ISO/IEC 27701 or ISO 9001. Assessment of these additional programmes is planned as part of Complade’s annual accreditation audit with the Standards Council of Canada in Q2 2027, from April to June. Accreditation remains subject to SCC’s assessment and decision. Approval and its timing are not guaranteed.

Courses and guides provide general education. Your organization remains responsible for its management system. Certification requires an audit and an independent certification decision. Questions? certification.info@complade.com
