Vision into ISO standards

Vision College recognises the need for delivering quality education services to their students. In search for delivering quality services, Vision College has approached ISO which is the world largest standards developing organisation.
ISO has published more than 19,000 international standards from 1947 to the present day. These standards range from activities such as agriculture and construction, through mechanical engineering, to medical devices, to the newest information technology developments.

ISO was founded from 2 organisations which is the ISA (International Federation of the National Standardizing Associations), established in New York in 1926, and the UNSCC (United Nations Standards Coordinating Committee), established in 1944.
In October 1946, delegates from 25 countries, meeting at the Institute of Civil Engineers in London, decided to create a new international organization, of which the object would be "to facilitate the international coordination and unification of industrial standards". The new organization, ISO, officially began operations on 23 February 1947.
ISO launches the development of new standards in response to sectors and stakeholders that express a clearly established need for them.
Vision College has always believed in delivering quality services to their students. We wanted to streamline our processes so that the response time to the students is addressed promptly.
Having the ISO certification also makes the organisations more efficient and more standardised therefore, any cost drivers will be reduced. Due to the standardisation of the processes, issues arising will be promptly addressed as there is a process for each action from the academic side, administration side and the marketing and sales side of the organisation.
Vision College's Director, Mr. Lee receiving the certificate.
In 2011, we have received the ISO 9001:2008 certification. In 2012, we have fully implemented the ISO standards in Vision College. We look forward to delivering the best we can to our students and our stakeholders.
