Well, it has been a momentous few weeks in the life of IIMS and I am keen to bring you up to speed and share our latest news, about which the team and I are very proud. Over the past 2 years, IIMS has been working steadily behind the scenes towards achieving ISO 9001 certification. It has been a lengthy and at times exhausting process; but finally, following our recent external audit carried out by DNV, I am delighted to inform you we have done it!
Last year I met the Bangladeshi Director General of the Department of Shipping on my trip to Chattogram. We spoke about delivering the IIMS Professional Qualification in Commercial Ship Marine Surveying locally and he was supportive. Imagine my delight to hear from Capt Zillur Bhuiyan FIIMS when he confirmed we have our first 9 students enrolled in the programme.
