Getting certified the 'AAA way'
The ‘AAA way’ really is your easiest route to certification. This streamlined, fully online process offers the quickest and most convenient path to ISO certification, with expert support and minimal disruption to your business.
Step 1. Sign Up Online
Tell us the standard(s) you need and your annual turnover, then sign up through our secure checkout. Straight away you’ll receive your private link to a set of named folders for evidence upload, plus clear guidance sheets and AI‑prompted tips to create anything that’s missing.
Step 2. The Review Process*
Our auditors review what you’ve uploaded against the chosen standard(s). If you already have a management system (for example, you just want to transfer from another Certification Body), then all this evidence should be familiar to you. If you don't, then see the section below. We keep things collaborative: if we need clarification or a little extra detail, we’ll ask. When the evidence is in place, we write the audit report remotely. For high‑risk scopes (for example certain ISO 45001 activities), we may need to view your on‑site operations (usually via a video link) - if so, we’ll agree this with you in advance.
Step 3. Receive Your Certificate
After your documents are approved, we promptly issue your ISO certificate electronically, making it official and ready to be showcased. Your certification is also entered into the IRQAO database, enhancing your visibility and credibility in the marketplace. With your certificate in hand, you can confidently demonstrate your commitment to quality, safety, environmental responsibility, or information security, giving your business the edge it deserves.
Our process is designed for maximum ease and efficiency, allowing you to achieve ISO certification entirely online with minimal effort. From a simple sign-up to expert-guided document reviews, and prompt certificate issuance, everything is tailored to save you time and hassle, making this the easiest and most convenient way to get certified.
*Support Options if you don't have a Management System
Option 1: Work with a Consultant
If you don’t already have a management system in place, the first and most supported route is to work with an ISO consultant. You can either use your own consultant - perhaps someone already familiar with your organisation - or we can introduce you to one of our trusted specialists. We work closely with The Ideas Distillery, a consultancy that helps businesses build compliant management systems from the ground up. Their consultants will do the ‘donkey work’ for you: identifying what policies and procedures you need, preparing the required documentation, and guiding you step by step until your system is ready for certification. Importantly, The Ideas Distillery operates entirely independently from AAA Certification, maintaining full impartiality between the implementation and certification processes.
Option 2: The Compliance Companion - Ready-to-Use Documentation with Built-In AI Guidance
If you’d prefer to handle things yourself but still want expert guidance without consultant costs, The Compliance Companion is an excellent middle-ground option. It provides a comprehensive library of pre-built ISO documentation packs tailored to each standard. Each document includes clear guidance notes, example content, and built-in AI prompts that help you customise policies, objectives, and records to match your organisation. It’s a one-off purchase - no subscription, no ongoing fees - and it gives you everything you need to establish a compliant management system quickly and confidently.
Option 3: AAA Resource Library – The Cheapest Route
For organisations on a tighter budget or those comfortable writing their own documents, we provide access to our AAA Resource Library free of charge when you sign up for certification. Each library is tailored to the specific ISO standard(s) you’re seeking. It clearly lists every type of evidence we’ll need to see for your audit - such as policies, risk assessments, objectives, or records - and includes AI prompts to help you generate new content where gaps exist. This is the most cost-effective way to get started, giving you control while still ensuring your submission meets ISO expectations.
Flexible and Transparent Support
All three routes can be mixed and matched. Some clients start with the Resource Library and then decide to add The Compliance Companion later. Others bring in a consultant only for specific stages such as internal audit or management review preparation. However you approach it, our role remains the same: to make certification clear, efficient, and accessible, whatever your level of experience.
