Wild & Associates

We work with clients to clearly understand their needs and desired outcomes and then customize our services to meet client needs.
Wild & Associates, Inc. offers a variety of services designed to increase the quality and effectiveness of your services to your clients. We help your staff learn as we progress through a project, so your employees will be able to implement and maintain improvements after the project is complete. We usually customize a program to fit the needs of your organization. Our services often fall into one of two areas:

With our Certification Audit service, clients will learn about the two major certification standards – specifically ISO/IEC 17024 Conformity assessment – General requirements for bodies operating certification of persons and National Commission for Certifying Agencies Standards for Accreditation of Certification Programs (NCCA).
Clients learn how their certification program’s policies, procedures and documentation compare to the requirements of these two standards. Suggestions for improvement are also provided to clients. Many clients use the report from the audit to encourage their board to move forward with program changes – or convince them that some changes might not be necessary.

The Best of Cheryl Wild’s Workshops in a retreat environment, at dates and prices customized to our clients needs! I’m very pleased to offer a workshop that has been developed with the help of my clients to bring a small group of certification professionals together to enjoy a short, intense, interactive version, of the consulting that my clients have individually in their offices.

I am constantly working to keep my clients informed of the latest news regarding certification standards, educational opportunites, and other items that contribute to my overall mission of improving your organization’s effectiveness.
