ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is an independent, non-governmental, international organization that develops standards to ensure the quality, safety, and efficiency of products, services, and systems.

Coast Institute of Technology started the journey of ISO certification in 2011 by ensuring that all the requirements of ISO certification are met. CIT was ISO 9001:2008 certified on 23^rd April 2012. Currently, the institution is ISO 9001:2015 certified after successful recertification processes. The institution is meanwhile working towards being ISO 21001 certified.

2. Training staff as Internal Auditors and Lead Auditors
3. Boosting the overall performance of staff and the institution in general
