description: SQMC Technical Faculty represents the collective expertise of the Scottish Quality Management Centre’s senior tutors, lead auditors, and technical specialists. Drawing on decades of practical auditing experience across a wide range of sectors, the Faculty develops and maintains SQMC’s training materials in line with internationally recognised best practice, including ISO 19011 and related management system standards. Much of the content published by the SQMC Technical Faculty is built upon, and inspired by, the enduring teaching legacy of SQMC’s founder, whose emphasis on practical auditing, professional integrity, and real-world application continues to shape how auditors are trained and supported throughout their careers.
