ISO 21001 is a standard for educational organizations that aims to provide a framework for the management of educational organizations and ensure the provision of high-quality educational services. To achieve ISO 21001 certification, an organization must meet the following requirements:
 
Leadership: The organization must have a strong leadership commitment to the implementation and maintenance of a quality management system (QMS) for education.
 
Policy: The organization must have a documented policy that outlines its commitment to providing quality education services.
 
Planning: The organization must develop and implement a QMS that includes processes for identifying the needs and expectations of stakeholders, setting objectives, and developing plans to achieve those objectives.
 
Support: The organization must ensure that the resources, infrastructure, and environment necessary to achieve its education objectives are available and accessible.
 
Operation: The organization must establish and implement processes for delivering education services, including the design and development of curricula, the selection and training of instructors, and the assessment of student learning.
 
Evaluation: The organization must monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of its education services and use the results to improve its QMS.
 
Improvement: The organization must continually improve its QMS by setting objectives, implementing changes, and monitoring the results.
 
An organization seeking ISO 21001 certification must undergo an external audit by an accredited certification body to verify that it has met all of these requirements. Once certified, the organization must undergo regular surveillance audits to maintain its certification.
