From our experience, it usually takes medium-sized organizations between 6-12 months to become certified. However, it may take less time if your organization is highly focused on becoming certified, or it may take longer if you are part of a large organization, have complex systems, or are introducing your systems.
Some of the factors that will influence the timeframe are:
- The commitment and leadership of your senior management
- your current status – where are you now?
- what kind of ‘quality/safety/environment etc culture’ currently exists
- The gaps: what gaps you have, where they are and what’s needed to fill them
- how or if your system is documented
- the resources and skills you can
