ISO Training & Compliance Expert
Welcome, I am Dr. Mohamed-Ali Ibrahim.

I am an independent ISO consultant, Senior Lead Auditor, educator, and certification expert with more than 20 years of professional experience in auditing, conformity assessment, training, and management systems. Since 1999, I have been working as a lead auditor and have supported organizations, certification bodies, and professionals across Europe, the Middle East, and international markets.

Today, I conduct certification audits on behalf of recognized certification bodies, including ATC Certification in the United Kingdom and QMS in the United States. My work combines practical auditing, consultancy, professional education, and certification support, with a clear focus on real implementation, competence, and audit readiness.

My areas of specialization cover a wide range of ISO standards. In the field of management systems, I work with ISO 9001 for Quality Management Systems, ISO 27001 for Information Security Management Systems, ISO 14001 for Environmental Management Systems, ISO 22301 for Business Continuity Management Systems, and ISO 21001 for Educational Organizations Management Systems. I also specialize in language-sector standards, including ISO 17100 for Translation Services, ISO 18587 for Machine Translation Post-Editing Services, ISO 20771 for Legal Translation, ISO 20228 for Legal Interpreting, ISO 18841 for Interpreting Services, ISO 21998 for Healthcare Interpreting Services, and ISO 23155 for Conference Interpreting Services.

Alongside my audit and certification work, I am also active in higher education and professional training. I contribute to technical and standards-related discussions and work as a lecturer in MBA study programs. My teaching approach is based on clarity, practical relevance, audit reality, and direct professional application.
