Who are the trainings for?
All employees
ISO awareness trainings create shared understanding. Everyone should know why quality, environment or information security matters.
QM managers
QMR qualification focused on the relevant standard (9001, 14001, 27001, 13485, 45001, 42001).
Internal auditors
Hands-on auditor training with real case exercises — not just theory.
Leadership
Risk-based thinking, management review, KPIs — short, focused sessions for decision-makers.
How a training runs
From your first question to the certificate on the wall — and beyond.

I create materials referencing your real processes and documents — not generic.

- 5
Follow-up
In the weeks after the training I remain available for questions — you should be able to apply what you learned.

Refreshers (optional)
Annual short updates keep the knowledge current. Important especially after standard revisions.
Why train with Sternberg Consulting?
Industry-specific
Automotive, medtech, construction, IT — I tailor examples and exercises to your context.
Practical not academic
Participants learn what they need tomorrow, not what was on a textbook test yesterday.
Small groups
Maximum 12 participants — time for questions and discussion.
Certificates with value
Final exam and certificate recognised by certifiers as proof of qualification.
Funding available
Many trainings are eligible for BAFA or state-level continuing education programmes.
Personally delivered
No instructor rotation. I deliver every training personally — with direct practical and audit experience.
Up to 80 % of consulting costs reimbursed.
BAFA subsidises SME consulting via the "Förderung unternehmerischen Know-hows" programme. I handle the entire application.
"Energy and results convinced us. From first contact to Stage 2 audit in six weeks — only possible because Jonathan began the work even before the contract was signed."
Common questions.
Which trainings are most popular?
Most frequently booked: (1) ISO 9001 awareness for the whole team (half-day), (2) internal auditor training (2 days), (3) QMR qualification to ISO 9001 (3 days), (4) special trainings on standard revisions.
How many participants per training?
Ideal is 6–12 participants. For larger groups we split into sessions. Smaller groups (2–3 people) are also possible, typically in coaching format.
How much do trainings cost?
ISO awareness half-day from €950. Internal auditor 2-day training from €2,200. QMR qualification from €3,500. Prices include materials and certificate. Group discounts possible.
Are the trainings certified?
Participants receive a certificate of completion with documented qualification. The certificate is recognised by accredited certification bodies as evidence.
Remote or on-site?
Both possible. Awareness and update trainings often run remotely (efficient). Auditor training and QMR qualification I recommend on-site — exercises work better.
Can trainings be tailored to our industry?
Yes, that is the rule. I create materials referencing your real processes. No templates are used.
Are there self-paced online courses?
Currently only live trainings (remote or on-site). Self-paced videos on selected topics are in development — please mention interest in the first call.
