At Simply Certification, we believe certification should be about enabling organisations to improve, grow and succeed — not creating unnecessary barriers.
That philosophy has always shaped the way we work.
Yes, as a certification body, impartiality is critical. Our role is to assess organisations fairly and consistently against recognised standards. But we also recognise something equally important:
Many businesses simply do not know where they currently stand before entering the certification process.
That is exactly why we have launched our new range of FREE online Readiness Checkers.
Designed to provide instant insight into certification readiness, these tools help organisations benchmark their current processes, identify potential gaps and better understand what may be required before progressing towards assessment.
Our new online checkers are now available for:
• ISO 9001 – Quality Management
• PAS 2030 – Retrofit Installation
• MCS – Microgeneration Certification Scheme
• ISO 19650 – Information Management & BIM
Each checker has been carefully developed around the core principles and operational requirements of the relevant scheme or standard, providing users with an instant report highlighting strengths, weaknesses and potential areas for improvement.
Because certification should never feel like stepping into the unknown.
“At Simply Certification, we are committed to changing the way organisations experience certification. We want the process to feel clearer, more supportive and far more accessible for businesses at every stage of their journey.
The launch of our free online Readiness Checkers is another step forward in that vision, giving organisations practical tools to better understand their current position before entering formal assessment.
Certification should not feel like a barrier. It should help organisations improve, grow and move forward with confidence.”

A More Supportive Route Towards Certification
What makes these tools different is that they are designed to support organisations before they reach formal assessment.
For many businesses, the biggest challenge is understanding:
- What good looks like
- Where the gaps are
- How ready they actually are
The online checkers help create that starting point.
They provide a practical “line in the sand”, giving organisations a clearer understanding of their current position before deciding what to do next.
And importantly, there is no pressure.
Some organisations may complete the checker and decide they are ready to move directly into certification assessment.
Others may identify areas that need strengthening first.
That is where the next stage of the journey can help.
From Readiness Checker to Gap Analysis
For organisations wanting a more detailed review, we also offer Gap Analysis services across our core certification schemes.
A Gap Analysis is a one-day high-level review carried out by one of our experienced assessors, designed to identify operational weaknesses, compliance gaps and improvement opportunities before formal assessment begins.
This allows organisations to:
- Reduce risk
- Improve confidence
- Avoid unnecessary delays
- Strengthen processes before assessment
- Build a clearer route towards certification
It is a far more supportive and commercially sensible approach than simply “hoping for the best” during assessment.
