The secret to our longevity is that we insist on delivering training to the highest standard. We are proud to have established a group of highly experienced tutors, some of whom have worked for the business for over 30 years.
Founded by 2 University Professors, Batalas was set-up in Hampshire UK, to provide support to companies adopting AQAP quality systems
Batalas became one of the first IRCA Approved training organisations in the world (previously named ‘The Register of Lead Assessors’)
Due to rapid growth in early management systems, Batalas opened offices in the USA, Australia, India, and Hong Kong
As a well-established business, Batalas attracted interest from industry leaders and was bought by PE International, followed by Handley Walker and then consultancy firm Lorian.
A key-moment in company history, Batalas was taken over by top-management and joined partnership with John Evans Management Centre Ltd.; with a combined history of 74 years, the joint venture offered both companies a wealth of opportunity.
By meeting strict training criteria, Batalas was awarded status as an Approved Training Provider by the newly partnered, internationally recognised ‘CQI and IRCA’
Increasing its offering, Batalas adds ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health & Safety (OHSMS) and ISO 27001:2016 Information Security (ISMS) to it’s training portfolio
Supporting the armed forces, Batalas achieves status as an ELCAS Approved Learning Provider for the military, delivering funded training for veterans
As an industry leader, Batalas paved the way for certified online training in quality management; it became the first training provider in the world to offer an online ISO 9001 Foundation course with CQI and IRCA certification
With changing rules in data protection, Batalas demonstrates a commitment to security by achieving Cyber Essentials certification (a pre-requisite for organisations working for the UK government)
Batalas celebrates its 60th anniversary! Delivering training for over half a century, with a wealth of experience it continues to be a leading training provider for auditors and quality professionals.
Privately owned by the Gravestock family for the last 24 years, Batalas is managed by an experienced and dedicated team…

Judith has over 25 years’ of experience in office administration in the private and public sectors such as Hampshire Police and the NHS
Anne has an extensive 25+ years of experience as a customer manager at prestigious companies.
With 19-years’ experience working for clients and agencies in Hampshire and London, Ellie has a wealth of knowledge in B2B marketing.
Tracy has worked within digital learning for 5 years and has been instrumental in the development of Batalas’ online portfolio
Sian is new to the world of learning technology but has quickly picked up a wide range of software-based skills and is continuously developing her knowledge.
We are proud to be an Approved Training Provider for CQI and IRCA; the only organisation in the world that can award quality professionals with a Chartered status, making its brand one of the most trusted.
When choosing a CQI IRCA-certified course, delegates can feel confident that the training will meet the requirements of an internationally recognised set framework.
Run by the MOD, the Enhanced Learning Credits Administration Service (ELCAS) offers financial support to those currently serving or leaving the armed forces.
We have a long history of delivering training to the armed forces and are proud to have been an ELC Approved Learning Provider since 2019.
At Batalas we value our customers and are proud to have so many people return to us for further ISO training. We are fortunate to have long-term relationships with many global organisations, helping them to achieve their training goals and improve business performance.
