The certified training program was conducted by Dr. Cahit Atlı, Chief Auditor of TSE Quality Management Systems. Throughout the training, participants were provided with detailed insights into the core principles and practical applications of the TS EN ISO 9001:2015 standard. The first day focused on “Process Management,” while the second day was dedicated to “Corporate Risk Management,” both marked by intensive knowledge sharing.

Participants gained valuable practical knowledge on a wide range of topics, including quality management principles, risk and opportunity analysis, risk scoring methods, and process optimization.

Immediately following the training, the 1st Surveillance Audit was conducted by TSE officials on April 24, 2025. Covering all academic and administrative units, the audit served as a powerful testament to KTMU’s unwavering commitment to quality standards and a systematic management approach.

Secretary General and Quality Management Representative, Prof. Dr. İsmet Altıntaş, also expressed his thanks to all contributing units and shared the following evaluations: “These achievements are the result of a management approach that views quality not merely as a goal but as a continuous journey of improvement. In today’s world, higher education institutions must respond to the evolving needs of society not only through academic success but also by establishing management structures that are transparent, accountable, and committed to continuous development. The ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System enhances the efficiency, traceability, and sustainability of all processes at our university. A quality-oriented management approach increases student satisfaction and strengthens employee engagement and loyalty, forming the foundation of the visionary, innovative, and internationalized academic structure that Manas University strives for.”
