Q: What is a QMS?
A Quality Management System (QMS) is a structured suite of documents, templates, policies, procedures, forms, and workflows. It represents your organisation “on paper” (or electronically), ensuring that quality is consistently managed, controlled, and improved across all areas of your business.
Q: Why do training providers need a QMS?
To achieve accreditation with the QCTO, SETAs, DEL, SAMSA, and other regulators, training providers must show that they can deliver training that is safe, effective, compliant, and of high quality. The QMS is the evidence you use to prove this during the application process, presenting your systems in a way that satisfies the authorities’ requirements.
Q: Where can I get a QMS?
The Lime Green QMS is a fully compliant, easy-to-use system tailored for South African training providers. It has already been tested and passed through multiple inspections by the QCTO and related bodies.
Q: Is the Lime Green QMS user-friendly?
Yes. Because it is plug-and-play, the QMS makes it simple to incorporate your own business documents without starting from scratch. Some providers use it independently, while others prefer Lime Green to manage their full accreditation process.Â
Q: What does “plug-and-play” mean?
Accreditation requires three categories of documents:
Your own documents: Items Lime Green cannot supply (e.g. SARS tax clearance). These are the ones you “plug in”.
Template-based documents: Lime Green provides a framework you complete (e.g. safety checklists).
Fully completed documents: Supplied by Lime Green, making up most of the QMS (policies, procedures, forms, templates).
Q: What’s included in the QMS?
The Lime Green QMS covers every compliance area required for accreditation. See the full QMS index below for details.
