I recently completed the BRCGS Issue 9 for Senior Managers eLearning course and am genuinely impressed with the depth and clarity of the content. Tailored for senior management, it seamlessly blends theoretical knowledge with practical applications, ensuring we grasp not just the ‘what’ but also the ‘why’ and ‘how’. The eLearning format made it easy to pace myself and revisit complex topics, while the expertly crafted modules catered specifically to our managerial perspective. I believe this course is invaluable for any senior manager aiming to comprehend and implement BRCGS Issue 9 at a strategic level. Highly recommended!

Hi Mario, thank you so much for your glowing review of our eLearning for Senior managers. We do like to think of this course as the ultimate guide to being a senior manager working toward compliance in Issue 9 of the BRCGS global standard. We hope that others looking to implement Issue 9 training for their senior management teams will be able to use your review to help them make an informed decision as to its suitability.
Lisa Cochrane –
All of our senior managers completed this course following the the publication of Issue 9. A very comprehensive course, covering culture, business planning and setting objectives through to managing resources and understanding Non conformances.
This gave us the tools and understanding to completely overhaul our Business Strategy, bring everything into alignment in order to create a clear vision, with SMART Objectives that we were more easily able to communicate to the wider team.
As a result, this year our culture survey showed improvement against each of the defined elements, and we significantly surpassed our target score.

Thanks for the detailed feedback for our Issue 9 training for senior managers Lisa, the majority of this training is taken from our series for the Senior Management Commitment section of the standard interspersed with some training from our continuous improvement training which is linked in so many ways. We spent alot of time carefully compiling the content for the training so that it was cohesive with a well thought through strategy that could be easily understood and utilised – your team sounds like they have been the ideal candidates for this training, you must be so proud of them – well done to all who completed it.
