Warning: AVOID courses that will not answer your specific questions!
Before you sign-up for a training course elsewhere, ask the course provider if the instructor "would tailor the course examples to provide answers to your organization's specific situation". ANAB and the SCC preclude quality registrars from "consulting". Therefore, their courses remain generic and instructors avoid using examples that may guide participants to a practical solution! The result is far less satisfying to the course participants. Orion Canada is a consulting company whose professional trainers are certified practitioners who deliver the best value for the training dollar.
