The aim of this unique and highly interactive e-Learning course/workshop is to empower participants to -

  • achieve a practical understanding of AS9100 by relating requirements to management techniques, best-practice methodologies and processes – rather than a clause-by-clause analysis

  • deploy the process approach, Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle and risk-based thinking

  • understand the specific requirements relating to QMS 'effectiveness' – process-level (PEARs), customer satisfaction and supplier performance

  • appreciate the benefits of adopting the modern, visual process approach to QMS design and documentation

  • be able to deal with ‘climate change’ requirements and understand ‘OCAP’ and ‘PBS/RP’

This practical e-Learning course typically takes between 16- and 24-hours to compete. It is suitable for management teams, process owners, prospective internal auditors and supplier auditors who need to understand and interpret the AS9100 requirements in a practical manner.

The e-Learning course is highly interactive and uses Quizzes and Exercises to conform personal understanding of the principles and practices involved. You can download your Training Certificate immediately on completion of the e-course.

It is the ideal option for people who need to have a sound knowledge of a what Quality Management System (QMS) is and understand the basic structure/requirements of the AS9100 series.

Our training package includes a downloadable (pdf) detailed Delegate Manual.

This e-Learning course also available as a 2-day event in ‘Face-to-Face format’ on-site at your premises, and as a public course hosted at our training venue, The Woodland Grange Conference Centre, Leamington Spa, UK.
