Batalas and its productivity training division John Evans were formed in the same year, 1962. As early entrants to their specialist fields both organisations have played their part in assisting both governments and organisations to adopt new policies and practices which have impacted the public and private sector environments.
Batalas has over 50 years experience in assisting organisations in improving their performance. In excess of 250,000 people have attended our training courses covering management systems, performance improvement and management development. We have assisted more than 4,500 organisations to achieve registration to international standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO/TS 16949, OHSAS 18001, ISO 13485, AS9100 etc.
Our training division recognises the importance our customers place on the professional standing of our courses and programmes. Batalas offers a range of training courses which lead to professional qualifications. Our training centre is IRCA (International Register of Certificated Auditors) approved and can therefore offer a comprehensive programme of courses which are internationally recognised.
