ICERT Management Consultancy

What ICERT Management Consultancy does

ICERT Management Consultancy is a privately-held ISO and API certification consultancy established in 2009 and headquartered in Dubai Silicon Oasis, United Arab Emirates, with a regional office in Manama, Bahrain. The firm supports clients across the Middle East — including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, and Libya — through end-to-end management system certification services spanning gap assessment, documentation, training, implementation support, internal audit, and external audit support. Its product portfolio covers nine ISO standards (9001 Quality, 14001 Environmental, 45001 Occupational Health & Safety, 27001 Information Security, 22301 Business Continuity, 37001 Anti-Bribery, 17020 Inspection Bodies, 17025 Testing & Calibration Laboratories), API Spec 10A for oil well cement, and HACCP/food safety adjacent work, with industry exposure spanning oil & gas, contracting, supply and distribution, warehousing, insurance, IT, solar, facility management, retail, and metal recycling.

The business model is professional services-led, delivered by an 8-person named team including a Principal Consultant with 18 years of experience. Engagement packages range from full certification support (1-3 months) to gap assessments (1-3 days) and modular audit services (Gap, Quality, QHSE tiers starting at half-day units). A secondary revenue stream is a self-serve online learning storefront selling individual safety and hospitality courses at $29 (sale) or $49 (regular) with 30-day access, alongside IRCA-certified Lead Auditor training programs sold at a 20% online discount. Go-to-market is direct, sales-led, and field-driven: WhatsApp, email ([email protected] / [email protected]), phone, and website quote forms supplemented by SEO-driven educational content on ISO standards. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, parent company, or proprietary technology platform have been disclosed; the competitive position rests on consultant expertise, regional presence, and a multi-standard methodology rather than any technology moat.
