QCS 30th Anniversary  

Thirty years ago, Quality Consulting Services started business in Cumbernauld, delivering consultancy services for BS 5750 Parts 1,2 & 3; a Scottish-based company for Scottish clients. Within a few years QCS had a growing market share and a reputation for ‘quality’ and personal service. Our highly experienced consultants covered a wide range of sectors, from Oil and Gas – Construction – Service Sector.

Always at the forefront, QCS identified a gap in the Scottish market for IRCA Registered Training. At that time, Internal and Lead Auditor courses were not delivered in Scotland, which added a financial burden to clients implementing a BS 5750 quality management system north of the border. QCS launched The Quality College of Scotland with a bespoke training venue in Central Scotland and gained IRCA Training Organisation status to deliver IRCA Registered Internal and Lead auditor courses together with foundation and implementation courses. Such was our success that we were soon delivering IRCA Registered courses in USA, Dominican Republic, Seychelles, Mauritius, Arab Emirates throughout Europe and opened a QCS offices in Phoenix and Vermont.

As a progressive company our expertise allowed us to add ISO 14001 (Environmental) and OHSAS 18001 (Health & Safety) consultancy to our portfolio and once again we were a forerunner for IRCA training in Scotland and overseas for Environmental and Health & Safety Auditor courses. With our increased global presence, we were renamed as QCS International allowing us to fully capitalise on the worldwide services we were delivering.

To say we have been a forerunner is perhaps easy, but looking at our medical device portfolio lets you see just how much of a forerunner we are. With advanced medical device management system specialists in house, we developed the first IRCA Registered Internal and Lead Auditor training courses – not only in the UK, but also worldwide and we have trained medical device professionals both at our public training venue in Scotland and at clients’ organisations all over the world.

How do we do this?

• Our consultants are fully employed by QCS – we don’t need to use sub-contractors like many other training and consultancy organisations
• We deliver high quality consultancy to the medical device industry from implementation of ISO 13485 – Technical File preparation – CE marking – Regulatory Advice and much more
• QCS consultants are not only highly qualified in their field, but they all have up to date working experience

At QCS it is important for us to work in partnership – we don’t sit in a corner of your office and work in isolation. We become part of your management team and we spread our knowledge to meet your objectives and ensure your personnel have the skills to continually manage the systems after certification.

We are a one stop should for all your Quality, Environmental, Health & Safety and Medical Device Management Systems covering:
