The Harvard QMS Team

Who are we?

A Bit About Us

We help various sized businesses with their Quality Management Systems which are vital if they are to continue trading. We offer training on the use of Lean 6 Sigma methodology to reduce waste in their business, reduce costs and improve profitability.

We also deliver fully funded improvement apprenticeships and can help you access levy funding to cover training costs.

Our Unique Approach

At Harvard QMS we understand that training should not follow a "one size fits all" methodology. As such, we aim to be as flexible as possible in our approach. We will always aim to meet with you first to find out exactly what your needs are. From there we can create a bespoke training package and, if necessary, work with smaller groups or even individuals to ensure that everybody goes away with the needed skills.

As part of our delivery model, we offer you the opportunity to select a project that meets your current company requirements. This means that not only are employees receiving training, but are also working on value added activity with quantifiable results.
