Preparing for digitalisation: Free resources for Conformity Assessment Bodies

Digitalisation is reshaping how organisations across all sectors operate, and the Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) community is no exception. Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) are increasingly expected to adopt new digital tools and processes, not only to remain competitive but also to continue delivering trust, quality and assurance in a changing world.

To support this transition, UKAS Academy has developed a suite of free digitalisation resources. These materials are designed specifically for CABs and provide practical, accessible guidance to help you build awareness, develop readiness, and start applying digital tools with confidence.

About the CAB Digitalisation Project

UKAS Academy has been working with industry experts to explore how digitalisation will impact the TIC sector. Through a series of webinars and workshops, we engaged directly with CABs to identify opportunities, challenges and priority areas for learning.

The outcome of this project is a set of eLearning courses designed to introduce CABs to the fundamentals of digitalisation. Each course is concise, accessible online, and free of charge—removing barriers to participation and enabling organisations of all sizes to benefit.
